Hi. New here and i'm also trying to catch up with technology.
My current pc, that lasted ~ 6 years in gaming event at medium for the hard games at full hd.
E8400 + 8 gb ram + Asus 8800 GT, changed it to a second hand Asus GTX 470 to play Crysis 3 on medium. Did it's job but i think it's time to upgrade.
-----------
-I will upgrade in September, i will leave my country to work and until then time will be in my favour, haswell will settle, new games especially to play The Witcher 3 at max etc.
-Not interested in dual gpu cards, SLi/CF, OC maybe in the future for the cpu.
-Looking to last as the old one did ~ 5 years.
-Gaming at 1920x1080 (don't need higher resolutions because i use a 42" Panasonic Plasma will not change it for a long time)
-----------
So these are my questions:
1. What CPU at stock power is nedeed to use a GTX Titan at 100%, not to bottleneck it and also will last for Maxwell ?
2. For gaming at my requirments and as a single gpu card, is it wiser in the long run to get an i7 4770k or an i7 3970x @ 2011 / new Ivy-E?
-----------
So best bang for buck, in September should i get 4770k + GTX 780 or second hand GTX Titan ?
Or stay with current GTX 470 and wait for Maxwell ? (i think at same time when The Witcher 3 launches in 2014)
Or go wild with a 3970x / 3980x when it launches / Ivy-E with same gpu combo as above?
-----------
Any imput is of great help.
Thank you.
