I currently have an Asus EAH 6850 and a Amd Phenom ii x4 960t Black Edition and was saving up to buy an Asus GTX 660 ti but I just remembered that my processor might bottleneck the GTX 660 ti.
Will it and if so is there a better amd processor I can get?

No. The newer gen cards are better for gaming, but the phenom is still good.

Don't get any more. Having more is never necessarily better when it comes to RAM. You will never need more than 8.
