Depends on the GPU(s) and the game.

Some games arent too CPU bound and it wont bottleneck two 780s, but something like BF4 you might see some bottlenecking with a single 780, although it will still play it well (with a good CPU overclock).

Basically, If I were you and looking at the high end, I would get the best GPU you can afford and look to upgrade your CPU/Mobo with the next generation.

The question you posted is a bit confusing to understand. I think you mean that which graphic cards will be bottlenecked by this Cpu. Because unless you buy a low-med end card card, a gpu will not bottleneck your cpu. Because If you buy gpu's stronger than gtx 760-770 or hd 7970, your Cpu will be bottleneck them.

Ya that's what I was trying to say. So even at stock it can still handle pretty much anything.

So it'll handle even the high enders with a good oc?
