I am thinking of buying a new graphics card because my Nevidia GeForce 8400 GS sucks potato's potato.

I don't know should I buy GeForce GTX 760 or should i spit out few extra bucks for GeForce GTX 780 of course that all depends  if I win a giveaway because I like the most of us isn't in a good financial state.

Thanks for the feedback 

i'd go for the 780 too, just make sure your CPU can handle that thing.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Is Intel core i5-680@3.6 Ghz enough?

Probably not, but considering the performance difference between the GTX 780 and GTX 760, the 780 is so worth it.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

maybe if you overclock it and put flame stickers all over your CPU and case and motherboard and harddrives, and fans, and cooking appliances.
