Great...
But i read that the 760 is best with i5 4570 3.2 GHz..
I also asked on this site whether the 1055t would bottleneck the GTX 760..
All of them said yes and i should switch to intel which includes buying a new motherboard,the i5 and maybe a new power supply if i want the GTX 760,cuz it needs 500W minimum,and my power supply has exactly that amount,500W (I dont exactly know if I need a new power supply
Reading that,I decided not to buy the GTX 760,just cuz the 1055t might bottleneck the ASUS GTX 760 and stick with the GeForce GTX 650. When I collect enough money,i would buy a new MB,i5 and the GTX 660 ti,GTX 760, Radeon 280 or 290.
SO...... I dont know what to do.... currently i have 210 euros ( around $300) and i would need around 550 euros( around $790) or more if I decide to wait and buy a new MB,the i5,one of those 4 GPUs and (maybe) a new power supply.....or should I risk and buy a GTX 760 or Radeon 280 now and get possible bottlenecking....
Maybe the GTX 660Ti would be just what i need,maybe i wouldnt get bottlenecking, and this one and the 760 are about the same
I dunno man... if you could help a bit,give me a suggestion on whether to buy the GPU(760,280 or 660ti) now or to collect money and buy the GPU(i5),new MB,new CPU and (maybe) a new power supply,it would be greatly,greatly appreciated...

Many people go overboard with the term bottleneck. Sure you might see a few frames difference in certain games, but an upgrade to a 760 or 280 with your current CPU will still make for a smooth gaming experience. If you want to get more out of your CPU I would suggest to overclock with an aftermarket cooler, provided that your motherboard can handle overclocking and that your PSU can provide enough power.
If you want to see how your processor performs with a certain video card go to youtube and search" Phenom II X6 1055t GTX 760" or " Phenom II X6 1055t R9 280" and look for gameplay videos of the system. Here's one I found with a 760:

I have NO f-ing idea if my MB can handle overclocking...my power supply is GT-ATX 500W
Im not a computer wizard,but maybe you'll know if the MB can handle overclocking and if my PSU can provide enough power...

Is there a brand on the label of your PSU?
Also sorry to say, but it's looks like you won't be able to overclock with your mobo

I've never heard of that brand for a PSU... most likely it will not output the wattage that is stated so you'll need a new PSU if you upgrade to the cards you listed.
The R9 280 is the best performance wise, followed by the GTX 760, and finally the 660ti is very similar to the 760's performance.
If you can buy a new PSU then I would go for the 280, otherwise it would be best to save up for a new build later on.

No problem. The only reason I joined this forums is because I like to help people with their pc builds 
I'm not too familiar with sites to buy exact parts for your country, but here's a PSU tier list:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
Try to Get a Tier One or Two PSU from the list. Also make sure it's at least 550W.
Also for the graphics card, buy the one that is the cheapest. Just make sure not to buy the reference card design
( it looks like this: http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/AMD-Radeon-R9-280X-Photo.jpg).
So look for a version of the 280 with two or more fans.

I think ASUS has a non-reference desing for the 280 and for the gtx 760 and 660ti
Thanks a lot dude,so helpful,u have no idea

And yes they do it's their DirectCU II models.

Does a Cooler Master GX Lite 700W sound good as a PSU?
No, it's a tier four PSU on the list I posted and you would want to avoid it. Try to look for a PSU made by Seasonic, Antec, or XFX.

What about the Seasonic SS 620W?
But I think my current PSU is enough for the 660 Ti,cuz i decided to buy that one on my 1055t. The 660 Ti needs 450W,and i have 500W PSU

Yes, seasonic makes great PSUs. The problem is that many manufacturers make low quality PSUs that do not actually have the ability to output the wattage they state. For example, your psu may say it is 500W but in reality it might only be 350W. It's best to get a new PSU to ensure you will have a safe and stable system.
