Just to check, if changing to GTX 780 will have any bottleneck?

Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 570 HD Superclocked

Current as follows:
Processor: Intel i5 2400 3.1GHz/6MB LGA1155
Mainboard: Zotac H67 ITX-A-E
Memory: Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Value RAM x 2

maybe on VERY cpu intensive games will bottleneck. But if your i5 2400 will bottleneck, the same applies to i5 4570. cpu hasn't got much more powerful these days.

No reason to upgrade his cpu or get a z87 mobo. No reason to upgrade from 1333mhz to 1600mhz ram either. He already has an ssd.
