Hey guys, wondering which GPU i should get without bottlenecking.

My rig:
Intel i5-760 ( stock, should i overclock it a bit? Nexus VCT-9000 )
Asus P7P55D Deluxe/Evo
Antec Earthwatts 750W
Kingston HyperX 1600mhz 8GB

Thank you! :)

well you have a decent CPU, I5 quad, although 3 years old now, is a still a very good gaming CPU. With moderate overclock, say to 3.4-3.5 you shouldn't have any bottleneck, you should be able to drive any high end card for gaming. A good balanced match would be a GTX760/AMD 7870/7950. If money is no problem then maybe a GTX770/780 or a AMD7970.
