My buildy thing...

So how many of you would say that a GTX 780 and a i7 4770k is ready for next gen? If so, for how long? Sorry I really don't know a whole lot about computer parts but I don't want to spend nearly $500 on a graphics card that may be bottlenecked by the cpu...

Now, you know what you can expect from these barbarians. They are a race of rabid BASTARDS that will fight us tooth and nail! But they don't know what they're up against. Cyrodiil, is CIVILIZATION! Cyrodiil, is ORDER! Cyrodiil is POWER! And out here, WE. ARE. CYRODIIL.

You won't bottleneck anything between those two parts. Those are very powerful and will be for a while, I would hope.

When you buy high-end parts, they usually last a good ~4 years or so. I don't see processors advancing any time soon, but GPU's will, for 4K.

 

The future is unpredictable, so it's really hard to say either way.

Yeah but not everyone is ready to spend a lot of money on say a Titan Z...which is supposedly ready for 4k i think.

Those two parts are the current gen, the next gen will def be more powerful than that and the games will be more demanding. If you are asking about future proofing, then its not really possible, its a really good setup, for now. 

I guess what I am trying to ask will it be ok for games that will release 2-3 years from now...GTA 5 may be releasing this year but with improved graphics and adding a lot of new stuff in there and not to mention the icenhancer mod that will turn the graphics into GTA 6...

It will run them decently I am sure, that's all speculation though. You have a pretty beasty setup there.

Shieeet. An i5-4670j? DAAAAYUM!!! Is this the even better overclockable version of the i5-4670K?  :lol:

 

I know, typos and all.  :P

 

Anyway, I'd say an i7-4770K could last as long as a year to 10 years. We still have people running stock Sandy i5's and i7's just fine, but no one knows. If anything Intel, AMD, or other companies like ARM could let loose a CPU that would wreck everything and basically render current super-CPUs look like primitive rocks. Same thing with the GTX 780, which is even more volatile considering that GPU generations have varied performance gaps.

I run a 2600K with a 780. Absolutely no bottleneck at all. Pair them with decent SSD and it'll be fine for a few years.
