Upgrading to 1440p 120Hz, do I need CPU or GPU upgrade?

[Dave_104]

I'm currently running an i3570k and a GTX 780 on a 1080p 120Hz monitor. I'm ready to upgrade to something 1440p, 120Hz, with G-Sync.

Will I need to upgrade my CPU and/or GPU to get a good experience on a display like that?

GPU, 3570k is still fine in my opinion.

If you want 1440p at 100fps+ you would need to be looking at a 1070 a least.

What pickle said. But keep an eye on those nvidia deals ....https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GeForce-4GD5T-4096MB-GDDR5/dp/B00XKS2MR8/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1470397104&sr=1-6&keywords=gtx+970 ...seems theyre dropping prices of previous gen so you may pick up a bargain on 980ti or similar ...

Ok cool I'll get a 1070.
