You'll be good to go with a 980ti. I'm running an i5-4670k OC to 4.4 with a 980ti and it runs great. The only thing I would do if I was you is add an SSD if you don't already have one.

would it but much of a step up from the 780ti to the 980ti?
im willing the shell the money out for a good card but i want good performance all round if you get me
like if it was your choice what would you do

mcconkeymike · Sep 14, 2016

Yes, the 980ti is 2 levels higher than the 780ti. For the money I would see if you could score a GTX1070 for a better price than the 980ti. The 1070 is another step above the 980ti.

thinking of buying this one

what do you reckon

WildCard999 · Sep 14, 2016

I agree, go for the 1070 instead of the 980 ti since its faster, also the EVGA FTW you posted is one of the better EVGA cards.

AdumJones · Sep 14, 2016

when you say 'one of the better cards' do you have something else in mind

WildCard999 · Sep 14, 2016

AdumJones :

What I meant is that the FTW versions are some of EVGA best cards (higher factory overclocks and better overclocking potential) besides there Classified (higher power phase) or Hybrid (AIO water cooling) versions.

ordered the 1070
