Like title says.Also:

-i will not OC cpu
- i'm playing on 720p monitor(1366x768)

Thanks for help

Not at all. I would go up the 7870/270x without any bottleneck, maybe even the 7950. That setup should be fine.

Wow you think it won't bottleneck card like 7950 ,cuz it's a really high end card. I would not OC also.
Any problems for cpu if gaming only at 720p (with hd7790)?I heard lower res=more cpu intensive

Probably not, though some games will bottleneck anyways (Think skyrim and Planetside 2 that hate AMD). Obviously I would never get a 7950 for a 720p monitor though. Your statement is correct, however it doesn't mean you'll play at lower settings than a higher resolution setup. All it means is that the CPU is strained almost as much as on a 1080p etup at 720p, but the GPU is stressed much less. Therefore you might not be able to play at higher settings than 1080p, but you will be able to play at the same settings. This depends a lot on the game. I hope that made some sense!
