Could a gtx 760 ti and a i7 - 4790 run modern games on max settings in 1080p?

Hell no. Better to get an i5 then a GTX 970 instead. You invested too much in the CPU and an i7 is not a good choice if your only aim is gaming. Please post your build and we'll check what you need to change.

This is not gonna be a gaming only pc, I'm also gonna be rendering videos

Get a xeon and a 970 then!

Well, decide whats more important... An i5 can render just fine just not quite as fast as an i7, but a 970 will game MUCH better than a 760. But since you seem to be on a budget, I'd also consider an i7+R9 290 (unless the software you use benefits from CUDA acceleration).

 

If the budget is that tight and you really are 50/50 (gaming/rendering), then go with a Xeon 1231v3 (a locked i7 with no integrated graphics) and a GTX970.

So, a gtx 760ti can't run modern games?

Theres no such thing as a 760Ti, and not at decent setting 1080p.

i would go the i5 4690k and the gtx 970 you arent going to be rendering videos everyday for 5 hours straight so might as well get the better graphic card the i5 is still a quad core so its coooo especially if you record gameplay the 970 will hold fps better

I'm gonna be using my gtx 760 ti from my old alienware, look on their website there is such thing as it

Actually I do render videos for the majority of the day, I work in editing

[bkandfries]

Intel Core i7-5820K for best bang for buck and gtx 970 would fit you best

hey same here man if you do rendering more than you do gaming i would say the i7 and the 760 should be fine then cause i do videography too and my 4770k does just fine with a good amount of ram. i wouldnt say that the 760 will run max everything at 60fps but if you turn it down a bit to like medium it will do fine. on bf4 the 4gb can run up to 90fps on all ultra i believe either 90 or 70
