You have no bottlenecks. Your CPU can definitely handle much more powerful graphics card but your 750ti is stretching its legs to its full extent with a processor like that. Its usually low end CPU's that bottleneck high end GPU's.

A GTX 970 or R9 390 would be a good match for the CPU. However I don't know your PSU and the R9 390 would need a lot of power (500W+ PSU). Since you're already with Nvidia and you're playing in only full HD, the VRAM problem of the GTX 970 should not be a problem and I would recommend the GTX 970 for you.

Actually I was thinking about this one Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX980 OC 4GB, 2xDVI, HDMI & 3xDP

And this is my power supply:

CORSAIR CX series CX750M 750W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified

The GTX 980 has a very bad performance/price ratio, I would only recommend it if you have too much money ;)

I'd go for the R9 390 or the R9 390X, depending on your budget. If you want to remain faithful to Nvidia, then the GTX 970 is definitive a good alternative at full HD.

I´m gonna stick with Nvidia ;)

Depending of the manucfacturers of the cards I have these choices:

MSI GF 970GTX Tiger
Inno3D GTX970 OC 4GB
Palit GeForce® GTX 970 (4096MB GDDR5)
MSI GeForce GTX 970 Tiger 4G
Evga PCX GTX970SC ACX2.0 4GB
Gigabyte GTX 970 ITX OC PCI-E3.0 4GB GDDR5

What would you recommend that I would get depending of the manufacturer?
