i have just ordered a new CPU and i'm not sure that my GPU is still enaugh for gameing whit this processor. Will it bottleneck my PC? (z87 motherboard,2x4gb RAM) i play games on 1600*900 resolution. Should i buy a newer GPU (660,750 ti)? Thank you! :)

Your new CPU will not bottleneck games even with a GTX 780 Ti, so if you want to enjoy playing new games with high settings you can upgrade to any card you want. For your resolution, I recommend the GTX 760 4GB, it will perform like a GTX 770 at 1080p.

The R9 270x will max out all games at that resolution and I find it a better alternative than the 760, if you plan to keep playing on 1600*900

Can you max out Wolfenstein the New Order with 2GB card? I thought the game will not even allow the ultra option on a less than 3GB VRAM card.

Yes i will play on 900p. I dont want AMD (you know,its like PS vs Xbox :D  ), I liked my 550 ti because it was the best part of my computer :D  but now with new CPU I think I need a new one. There is only one problem...money :D

3gb is the recommended vram, but if he's playing 1600*900 he should be getting 60 fps no problem

If that is the case get the GTX 750 Ti, it is the best power consumption / performance card, and you will not have to upgrade your PSU as it uses less power than the GTX 550 Ti, and you will also save in the electric bill.
