This is my old computer I am building new one but I feel like I still can upgrade this desktop to the maximum potential. Right now it has i5 3470 GPU GTX 660 Ti
Power 700 W

So I am looking to buy new mainboard Ram SSD (if still capable) if not then HDD And new CPU

So what do you guys think which highest intel that I can go up to?

    Any of them. I presume you’ll want to replace the GPU at some point, probably fairly soon, no reason to get a weak CPU to “avoid a bottleneck” just to get a different bottleneck later. Generally a GPU bottleneck is better to have since it’s cheaper and easier to upgrade a video card than it is to get all new motherboard+CPU and potentially new RAM.
