Would it? or will this Haswell be able to handle those gpus. If not, do you reccomend a i5-4570? Would there be a big difference?
 
Solution
The higher the resolution your gaming at, the less the CPU will bottleneck. Because at higher resolutions the GPU will be the bottleneck. So at 640x480 the CPU will be the bottleneck, but at 1080P the GPU will be.

Then ofcourse games like crysis 3 are CPU heavy, but at 1080p the GPU (even the titan/790ti/290x) will still be the bottleneck unless u SLI or CF more GPU's.

If you already own a 4430, don't upgrade. Money is better spend on GPU or left in pocket.
