Will the gtx 760,770, 950, 960 still handle games like sniper ghost warrior 3, watch dogs 2, bf1, and more upcoming games?

The cards would be 2gb
My monitor is 1366x768 is a samsung s19e310.
I will be playing with the i3 4170. Will my processor be okay?

Your current CPU will be fine if you will continue to game on 1366x768 resolution. It is only if you decide to upgrade your display that you will actually need a better CPU.

The same can be said about a GPU upgrade. If you can get a GTX 770 for $90-120 it will be a great buy. Even at 1080p, coupled with your i3, it will be able to provide very playable FPS in most games out today.

The fastest of them, GTX 770, will run fine in that resolution with your processor in 2017. If you want to go 1080P, you will need GTX 1060 6GB to make it butter smooth. The processor however will be the bottle neck but not too serious of a problem. You could upgrade it to 4770/4790 or 4770k/4790k.

Yes, as mentioned by George those GPUs at 1366x768 will work with even the latest titles. The GTX 770 is definitely the fastest. Next in line would be the GTX 960, then 950, and last 760.

EDIT: I forgot to ask, but what PSU is in your PC? For the GTX 770 you will need about 500w.

LOL, it doesn't suck, but it also is not a premium PSU. You will find that people on this forum can sometimes go a little overboard with PSU quality expectations :ange: Obviously it is best to have a Tier 1 PSU to ensure all your components are receiving consistent reliable power, but millions of people are using average PSUs and it is working fine for them, most of the time.

I should probably go dig a hole to hide in right now, before all the abuse gets thrown at me!
