PC for next gen games

[hashter]

I just bought 7970 ghz and i planned buy i5-3750k, 8gb ram and some good z77 motherboard. Will it be enough for high settings in next gen games especially gta 5, watch dogs, battlefield 4? or should i buy better cpu, memory or wait (unfortunately not with gpu)?

Haswell CPUs are not expected to be officially announced until June and you may need to wait until July to buy one. No performance benchmarks are out, but Intel's priority was to decrease overall power consumption with performance as a secondary priority. I would guess that a Haswell CPU will be about 6% - 8% more powerful than an Ivy Bridge CPU assuming the same clock speed.

If you don't think it is worth waiting 4 - 5 months for a probable 6% - 8% increase in performance, then just go with Ivy Bridge.

Your CPU and GPU should be more than good enough...
