GTX 980Ti Help Please!

[Azakius]

Hi guys,

 

So, I'm in the process of saving up for a new PC however I'm debating buying the GTX 980 TI and putting it in my current build and then transferring it to the new build when I get it.

 

My current specs are -

 

650w PSU

Core i7 4770

8GB Ram

GTX 770

 

Is it worth buying the 980ti now and using it whilst I save for the rest of the computer or should I just buy it all in one go? Only reason I ask as I've been told my CPU isn't that bad and shouldn't bottleneck the 980ti so they said I should get the 980 now and the rest when I can but I wanted some other opinions.

 

Thanks,

Dan

Edit - Should probably add, the reason why I'm getting a whole new computer is because my motherboard is pants, it's the Gigabyte h81m-h.

That CPU is still quite good and won't really bottleneck a 980/980ti. You can always upgrade your motherboard, if that was the only reason you wanted to build a new system.

If you are planing on getting a new computer and graphics card with it. Does it matter in what order you buy it?
Just get it if you want. It's not like you will get worse performance than the 770.

If you can afford the 980ti, get it. The 4770k will be fine, not even close to bottlenecking. But yea get a new z97 motherboard

Thanks guys.

 

My main concern was whether the motherboard would handle the GTX 980ti (I'm sort of a PC noob, making the console to PC transition!)

Yes. It doesn't change anything, as long as your psu has the power cables.

Which I'm assuming it does as the 770 has the same connections as the 980ti.

 

Man, I can see I'm in for a bumpy ride learning all the ins and outs of PCs but something I'm looking forward to!

[X99stattrak]

Yea. You can drop it in, and hit the ground running

[Azakius]

Awesome.

 

Appreciate the advice guys!

While a 980 ti is great, I'm waiting to see if Nvidia releases any new gpus this year (which they most likely will). I'm waiting for the successor to the gtx 980. (which would be 1080 maybe, if they continue the naming trend)

As I said, I'm new to the PC market, would you suggest waiting? Or will the new GPU range be alot more expensive than the 980ti?
