Add the attribute target="_blank"

Instead of using the apex:outputlink you can use plain html <a> tag and use javascript to open the [age in new window:

<apex:page setup="false" standardController="Account" showHeader="true">
<script type="text/javascript">
    function openCreateContact() {
        window.open("{!$Page.MyFormContact}");
    }
</script>
<p>Hello {! $User.FirstName}!</p>
<p>You are viewing the {! account.name} account.</p>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="openCreateContact();">Create New Contact!</a>

<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{! account.contacts}" var="item">
<apex:column value="{! item.name}"/>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
 </apex:page>

@denis could u help me know the basic use of    : target="_blank"

All visualforce controls renders to HTML controls, so apex:outputLink renders to simple <a> tag,
You could look at w3s for more information about standard HTML  attributes and tags.

Look at this and let me know if you don't understand something.
