Help with some Computer Specs

Hello, I have some questions on what improvements I’m looking at by upgrading my system gpu and also anyone that might have the gpu I’m getting for them to tell me their experience…my specs right now are;
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68
RAM: 8 gbs
CPU:I5-2500k OC’ed @ 4.33 mhz
GPU as of right now: Intel Hd Graphics 4000
1 TB Seagate HDD
and 750 Watt psu

I run the game at medium settings with 25-35 fps..never drops below 25 though…now I was wondering how my system will be when I get my gigabyte gtx 660 ti windforce Vx2703 OC 2048 GDDR5 ram…will I be able to run at high settings with a decent fps???

Thanks Much!!
Ron

With a dedicated GPU you will see strong gains over intergrated graphics, and with the gtx 660 you will see giant awsome sauce gains and will be able to run at everything maxed out and in 3d.

So I have a 27" monitor at 1924×1080...would you happen to have a guess on my average fps?

You should be able to run at 60 FPS with everything maxed most of the time, save WvWvW and the biggest cities.

Make sure it’s a 660ti and not a vanilla 660. Also, if you are able, overclock that shiz. It will make it as powerful as a 670.

Oh yea that’s a nice one! You will love it!
BTW as long as your case has good air flow, you probably won’t need crazy water setups. Check out sites like tomshardware, anandtech, etc and they will have good overclocking parameters.
