780ti is almost twice as fast as gtx 580,provided your cpu wont bottleneck. in my opinion, you should wait for the next gen gpus. nevertheless post your complete configuration.

High end Maxwell GPUs should be launched by Q4 2014. However, it will take some time before they arrive in India.

What games do you normally play and what resolution

I think 580 can handle almost all games as of today at 50+ fps ultra 1080p

gtx 580 and i7 920 still has got enough juice left. my decision would be to upgrade cpu when broadwell releases and gpu when maxwell releases.

You can overclock the GPU if you get low FPS.

Use software based overclocking tools. They are pretty safe. Overcolocking from BIOS and all is a bit risky for novice.

That's for CPU. You can't overclock discreet graphic card from BIOS.
