Advice on GPU for setup

[realism51]

Ordering some parts and want to include an upgrade GPU if it warrants it.

Ordering i5 4670k
and MSI z87 GD65 motherboard

other current components are:
Corsair TX650M PSU
16GB (4x4) corsair vengeance RAM
kingston hyper x 3k SSD 256
H80i cooler
rest isnt worth mentioning

I am transitioning from AMD to Intel. As far as GPU cost goes, its meh, wanting to keep it below 300.

Current GPU is GIGABYTE 7870 Ghz Edition. it sits about on par with a 660ti. and the new 700 nvidia cards are a tad bit better, just not sure if its work upgrading and selling what I have currently or stick with the 7870.

Will be Overclocking the cpu a bit, not a lot but a bit. looking at the MSI 760 or EVGA superclocked 760. but could go with any reccomendations really. I have always gone with AMD before so no clue on this realm

7870 is a great card! A real upgrade would be to get a gtx 770 or higher, else IMO saving up would be a much better option

You'll be wasting money with either a GTX760 or 660Ti:

The small performance gains are not worth the expense, if you want to upgrade you'll need to look at the far more expensive GTX770/HD7970 class of card but unless you're trying to play at 1440 rez the 7870 should be more than able to handle even demanding games (although you may have to turn AA down a little).
