upgrading my graphics card

[nataku17]

I'm looking at getting a new graphics card for my system. Just wanted to check a few things first.

I am still a little undecided between which card to get, I am looking at an r9 290x or the gtx 780ti.

my current spec

CPU: intel i5 2500k (currently running at stock but looking to overclock)
GPU: GTX 570
PSU: Antec TruePower New Modular 750W

1) Will my CPU cause any kind of bottleneck?

2) Will my PSU be capable of running one?

Having only ever used nvidia cards i am a little wary of switching to an AMD but the price difference is pretty big, specially as the 780 ti isn't all that more poweful from what i have seen, so i'm not sure the extra is worth it to stick with nvidia.

thanks for the help

PSU is fine and tbh I'd save a fair chunk of change and take a look at respective 290p/780 oc cards.

None should bottleneck your CPU but you will want to overclock it

Agreed, plenty power & better with the 780 or 290p given your concern as to if the extra is worth it. Still a huge leap from a 570.

I went from an overclocked 570 to a clocked 7970 and that was a huge leap, so a 780 or 290 will be even more so.
