Hello!
GTAV is coming "soon", and i'm just sitting here and using integrated gpu..
What i have: x4 960t. Yep, sounds like a bottlenecker, but i compared it to fx-4xxx/fx-6xxx and didn't notice big perfomance improvement. Only i5/i7 would be worth to upgrade.
Also, my chip isn't that bad, can be unlocked to x6 and oced, with x4 up to 3.9-4ghz, with new thermal grase even up to 4.2-3 i think :D
So suggest me which gpu should i get.

Gigabyte hd 7850 2gb - 80EUR. IMO, best price/perf ratio. + 2gb.

Asus HD 7950 3gb. 130EUR. IMO, overpriced a bit. Maybe more bottleneck will be caused by cpu?
I've been using R9 290 with this config and even with 4ghz there was a bottleneck (tested only in bf3 , lol)

Msi Gtx 660 Ti Power Edition Oc 115-120. .As seller says most powerful version of 660. IDK, as i know 660ti<7950.

You cannot say from those two tests that the 7950 is faster, they show that those cards have virtually the same speed.

The Asus 7950 you mentioned have 900mhz, so the GTX 600 ti have a better factory overclock. One more reason to buy the GTX.

EDIT: the Asus uses 3 expansion slots of your case.

Dont buy the 7850, the 35/40€ difference to the GTX 660 ti is well worth.

The 7950 will give you best performance at 1080p but not by a big margin. At Higher resolutions the difference to GTX 660 ti is even lower, but those cards are too slow this type of resolutions.

The choice between the 7950 and the 660 ti will depend on the brand and model you want to buy. Can you link them?

And another reason is that ~50% of 7950 are more or less faulty, especially from asus.
already had faulty r9 280x and sometimes-crashing r9 290.. So i'm a bit tired from 79xx/r9 series cards ;) And that 7950 comes without warranty and i will have no possibilty to test it before buying .SO probably, i will go for 660ti
Thanks for convincing me :D
