I'm about to upgrade my computer and for now, i can only get the HD 7790 and a new PSU, orther thing will come later. Untill then, i have a question, how much will my E5300 bottle neck the HD 7790 ?

Oh, it won't be too bad! I don't see it limiting your performance. You actually have a pretty balanced little rig. :) However, what settings you can pump out depends on the game you're running, the resolution you're running at, and what you feel is adequate.
