I'm looking to upgrade my GPU tonight from an HD 7770 1gb to a GTX 660 Boost Superclocked for $204 or a GTX 760 Superclocked for $265. My budget is $275 and I was wondering if the upgrade is much of one at all, if I should consider any other cards, and if the $60 price difference is worth it. I have an i3 2120, and 8gb of RAM. Thanks!
 

Sorry this is a few days Late, But I have a bit more money now whereas i can got for a 760, if my stuff wont bottleneck it too bad when games like GTA 5 and the other next-gens hit pc. I have an i3 2120, and 8gb of ram. Would the 760 bottleneck it? or should I go for a regular 660. There's a $60 price difference. And I'm not sure at all about the 660 Ti
 

As a matter of GPU, gtx 760 is better than both of them. Although it has slight boost performance on the gtx 660ti http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/860?vs=854 , but the newer architecture of the 7xx series will be useful and maybe in drivers.
The issue is that your i3 wont bottleneck gtx 760 in all games, but on cpu intensive games(crysis 3,bf3 MP,skyrim), im afraid it will bottleneck it and prevent it from showing its full potential than if provided with an i5 or fx-8150 maybe. I would like to know if you want to get a gpu now(you need it really) to search for a suitable one for you, or will you save some more money for a cheap amd processor that wont cause bottlenecking, its up to you, just lemme know 😉
