Depends on game. In general, the bottleneck will not affect the final outcome at 1080p.

Depends on the game. In most cases I'd say no - the CPU will be the bottleneck at that low resolution. But it really doesn't matter, that rig will be OTT for 1080p for years. I'd consider a (much) cheaper GPU if you haven't bought the 770 yet.

I'd go for the GTX750Ti at most (presuming that that's a refreshed GTX660).
Many people said me that GTX 770 is ok for my CPU. Are they wrong?

No, they're not wrong. It'd be a decent match. It's just a lot of money to invest in a rig for 1080p gaming. There might be a handful of AAA games (BF3, Metro Last light, Crysis 3) where you would be able to go for 8xMSAA and "ultra" settings where with a 750Ti you could only have 4xMSAA and "very high" settings. But how much is that worth to you?

IMO will be fine but it is a bit overkill for your CPU. There is always a bottleneck somewwhere...
Yes. I think that I will wait for 750TI or 760. Thank you.
What do you mean with "IMO"?
