Should I upgrade to a 760, 670 or a 770? And would it be a worthwhile upgrade?

So i'm looking to upgrade my GPU around christmas and was wondering what would be better to get, a 760, a 670 or a 770.
My specs are in my signature.

ASUS 760 DirectCU II ~£200

Gigabyte 670 2x Windforce ~£190-200

MSI 770 Gaming Edition ~£320

The chances of me getting the 770 are quite slim, and i know it heavily outweighs the other cards, but I wanted to include something a bit more beefy to compare.
I'm undecided on the brand of 670 too, I would've linked an ASUS one except it's out of stock and has no price currently.
So what i'm here to ask is will it be a worthwile upgrade to get a 760/670 and if so, which one is better price-performance wise?

The 670 is the best "jack of all trades" card but the 760 has more value. The 760 is a worthy upgrade and should do very well on 1080p, I love mine.

Hi - If you're not totally against AMD cards you might consider an hd7970, which competes with the 770.
I expect in the next couple weeks you'll find them below £250 (already below £260) Just a thot

In no way am I against AMD graphics, but i'm not an idiot and there is no way even a 7970 ghz compares to a 770, it's closer to a 670 level.

It is fun, but premature to pick components that far in advance. Prices will change, usually for the better, and new products are likely to launch.

Ultimately, market forces bring the price/performance of midrange graphics cards into balance.
Wait and see what is offered close to when you are ready to buy.

The 7970ghz outperforms the 770 in a lot of games, the 770 does better in BF & Far Cry:

7970 is a really good buy if you ask me, just Afterburner and done.
