will an i5 2300 2.8 Ghz bottleneck a gtx 770 sli setup?
if so, whats the best graphics card for the cpu without bottlenecking?
 
Solution
The 2300 will bottleneck two 770's,but one GTX 770 should be a perfect match for your CPU.
You can also go with a GTX 970 if you like,that will bottleneck,but only a tad,nothing to be worried about. :)

You i5 2300 still has a stronger single core performance than any AMD so it should be fine for the time being. The Sandy i5s are still pretty strong. Of course a md-range Ivy i5 like a 3470 would be a pretty good upgrade if/when you can afford it.
