Hey i currently have an i5-2320 3.00Ghz running with an xfx 7950 on eyefinity overclocked to 890mhz (Works really good btw) and an B75MA-p45 socket 1155, and an antec 900w PSU

But i want to uppgrade to the 780 lightning will my cpu bottleneck my gpu?

and is there anything else i should think about when running the 780 lightning in nvidia suround?

Is there anything further that i should think of?

Why would you suggest a downgrade? The 7950 he has is faster than a 660ti.

The i5-2320 will work just fine with a 780. Eyefinity is only supported on AMD cards, Nvidia cards use surround. The GTX 780 can support up to 4 monitors.

What about my motherboard, i really want to upgrade that for future uppgrades any good suggestions?

I have the cooler master HAF 912 plus midi tower if it matters:)

Apart from a recommendation of a 600 Watt with a minimum of 42 amps on the 12v rail, there are no other system requirements for a GTX 780. Your CPU will run the card, but it is possible that some bottle-necking will occur. But of course, the card is easily transferred to a new upgraded motherboard / CPU.
