I've used a GTX 460 1GB, a GTX 780 and now a GTX 980 Ti with this 2600K over the last 5 years I've had it. I've never kept a platform that long before and I literally am waiting on my new Skylake build to be shipped to me right now. I finally upgraded more because I'm on a P67 motherboard than for the CPU performance upgrade.

Glad to help! :)
