3770k temp @ stock speed

61 is by no means a lot.

I know people temp differ eventhough they might have the same setup, but there are other variables

1-) How is your room? Is it cooled nicely? How is your ambient temperature

2-) How is the airflow of your case?

3-) How is the weather there

These are all variables that differ by people to people

I have a i5 3570k and a Corsair H80 cooling system. While playing BF3, i can see the temp hitting as high as 65 degrees which is by all means NORMAL. If i move my case to the living room which has a better ambient temperature, than my temps get even lower.

61C in yoru case is perfectly normal. Dont worry. You can OC your CPU too.

Weather is usually hot. I don't have a GPu yet so i'm running on the onboard one, does this affect temps in any way? i'm curios if i could game a bit until i decide on which gpu to choose, how does the onboard gpu cool? Sorry again i'm pretty new to this things. Thank you for the answers.

I would say definitely get a GPU. You can game with the 3770k but it will be extremely mediocre at best (not even that)

Trust me your temps are normal. Yes they could be lower but I doubt there is anything you can do. Prime95 puts LOTS of stressing to the CPU, so dont worry, while surfing or gaming with a regular GPU your temps will never be that high. Also when the weather gets warmer you will see the temps getting lower.

But all things aside, go grab yourself a GPU. What is your budget?

People helped me alot last year, now its time for me to help...

There are lots of people here in OCN that help each other. Great community.

Any how

Sure than 660Ti wil be great for you.

You can always go for the Gigabyte 670 too.

Amazing card, with great cooling, but if you want wait for 660ti and see the reviews than decide.

Remember Gigabyte 670 with the custom cooling they got is 400$ at newegg. Rumors are that 660ti will be around 350$. Maybe just a bit lower.

If you can, get the Gigabyte 670, if not, just wait for the 660ti. 

Whatever you do, if you buy Nvidia, go with Kepler. Thats my recommendation.

You might also want to get an Ati card but I am not a big fan so someone else would help you with that.
