Consider something current, not an outdated or worn card such as a 770 or 960. Those are around seven years old. Opt for a 1060 or 580 instead.
Planning to upgrade to a better GPU is certain, but I wondered about possible major performance issues with the GTX760 and the i7-3820.
It remains a highly functional CPU. Although it's quite old, it should manage up to a 980 Ti with a slight overclock. My QX9650 can handle the GTX 760 well, though that’s only a minor limitation. Since your CPU is significantly faster than that, you shouldn’t encounter any issues without a bottleneck.
You'll probably have to replace the CPU as well when you upgrade the GPU. The 3820 uses Sandy Bridge, which is quite outdated—about ten years old. If it's over 1060 or 580, you'll hit performance limits.
