Quick graphics card help needed!

First post, so apologizes if i have done anything incorrectly.

 

This question is simply about whether or not the graphics card i'm looking to buy will be capped by my current systems components!

I'm currently running a Intel Core I7-2600K, 8gb Ram and a GTX 560 SE, however i'm wanting to upgrade to a GTX 780. As said before, my question is, will i get good performance out of the 780 or will my CPU bottleneck it?

 

That is all. Thanks You!

You're fine with your i7. If there was any bottlenecking you wouldn't even notice it.

CPU:

Intel Core i5 2500k - Motherboard: Asus maximus iv gene-z - RAM: 2x Corsair Vengeance Blue 4GB DDR3-1600 CL9 - GPU: ASUS GTX 770 DirectCU II
