Can I have a couple of recommendations for a video card that will work for my existing setup?I don't want to update to a whole new computer. I mostly play the new DOOM and Call of Duty Black OPS III and use PhotoShop CC 2016 for 36mb + photography files. I would like to use Ultra High Settings for the games.
I am looking to spend from $ 300-600.00.
Do I need to overclock my CPU and will the card bottleneck my cpu?

Here are my specs

AS Rock Z-87 Extreme 4 ATX LGA 115
Intel I7 4770L @ 3.5
Corsair 850W HX 80GOld
Crucial 4x8 (32gb) P3 1600 DIMM
GTX 780TI SC AC 3GB
Samsung 500 SSD
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO

Ok thanks guys, would I have to reformat my hard drive to install this card so their wouldn't be a conflict with the old video drivers? If not, what way would you recommend on how to do this? Go into safe mode, etc?
