CPU for Arma 3 ?

[Faa]

According to a few articles in Techspot and other websites, there's a huge different from the 660 to the 780.

Yes thats tested under a gpu bound situation. When you're cpu limited to a certain point, a 780 doesn't do any better than a 660. A 660 would just run at higher loads since its less powerful sitting at the same performance as a 780ti. Anyways its your money, all we try is to keep OP's away from spending too much for marginal performance gains.

And yes the formula is a nice looking board, would be probably my first choice

Of cause having a i3 CPU and a gtx 780 ti would make no sense, as the cpu will bottleneck the gpu. 

Now as I've seen another article, just with a 3970x instead of 4770k, the 780 does 63.71 instead of the previous 59. But this shows a 780 ti, giving 75.88 FPS, and it will probably be at 70 FPS on a 4770k, which is satisfieing for me.
