Do i need to upgrade my CPU/Motherboard/memory for SLI 780ti

[chaparral]

Today i ordered two GTX 780ti to replace my two GTX 580's and am wondering if I should or need to upgrade anything else in my system so I don't get a bottleneck

This is the rest of my main system specs which are now around 2 years old


Do you think I need or should to upgrade to an Intel Haswell 4770K cpu & motherboard..


(PS: I ran my i7-2600K at 4.6ghz,it may go higher but I haven't tried )

I think the only thing to say is depending on the res and games you play...

2560x1440p (dell 27" monitor)

Mainly FPS /Third person (I:E Tombraider)/ Racing and C&C type games

@ 4.6 on your 2600K, you should be ok. Maybe a slight bottleneck but a 4770K would also see a bottleneck at 4.6 IMO.

My motherboard is also only PCI 2.0 (I think) not sure how much difference that will also make..

Am Guessing my system spec will be fine for all the games available now, And I would really only notice a difference in benchmark tests if I upgraded

Also Haswell is trickier to overclock due to the heat so i would just stick with what you have.

Yes I also read about that and it worried me a little..

Pop the cards in, have a play and see what ya think Chaparral is my thoughts.

Am hoping to be thinking the same as when I first bought my two GTX 580's..
(This system is much faster then I need )

OP stick with what you have got, for the cards you have a high clocking SB CPU is a better bet than an average Haswell 4770k.

Yes think I will most likely stick with the CPU/motherboard I already have as over the next month or so is going cost me a lot with it being Christmas & new year..
Plus I also need to buy a new car very soon...
