Hey Guys,

I was wondering if my system (in the footer of the post) will be bottlenecked if I upgraded my GPU with a single EVGA GTX780 or GTX770? More specifically, will the motherboard be the bottleneck?

Thanks

Nah, currently your GPU is defo the bottleneck, and i7 3770k will still run any game easily but it is the weaker 660Ti holding it back atm
