No budget but prefer to stay under 1000€ for the graphics card
Plan to use it for gaming, currently have a 1920x1080 monitor but I don't know if it's worth getting a 2k/4k monitor, so if anyone has anything on this topic feel free to say!

Just a high-end card that can play the newer games maxed out with 60 fps, currently I have a GTX 650 Ti that can barely run Watch Dogs on medium graphics without lagging (might be a vram problem)

I've been thinking of a GTX 780 Ti but I've been told that it's a bit too much power for 1080p, with 3gb vram, opinions on this? Any other recommendations than GTX 780 Ti?

Last question: Will an i5-3470 3,2ghz bottleneck a GTX 780 Ti? (or any other high-end card around there)

Prefer GeForce cards over AMD

A 780ti would be perfect if you want to play on max settings, a suggestion, get the Asus DirectCUII 780ti. It keeps the card very cool and the card would be boosted well with GPU boost. And for the CPU, it won't bottleneck, but if you're scared, go for a i5 4670k.

The 780 (non Ti) would be a better fit for your cpu and 1080p gaming. You can always OC it for better performance.
I recommend EVGA, ASUS, PNY and MSI. Gigabyte is pretty good.

Sorry about the language, but is this what you mean? Would it be good?

Also I saw a GTX 780 with 6GB Vram on the same site, does it make any difference 3gb or 6gb on 1080p resolution?

If you don't want to SLI, go for the 3gb version, but if you want SLI, go for the 6gb version

3gb vram is plenty for 1080p. The 780 is the sweet spot card for gaming at 1080p. You could get the 780ti, but it is a bit overkill. If you think you want to go 4k or multiple monitors, you may want to consider the 780ti 6gb version.
