I am currently looking forward to the new ps4 and xbox one release; because, that means a lot more games with high res models and textures will be available for pc. Now I can't even run some 2013 games on max settings, so I want to upgrade my system with a graphics card or whatever it takes to run next gen games at best or close to best graphics. Below I will post my all pieces of my hardware via links to newegg.com

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066 (case)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 (operating system)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134928 (RAM)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131758 (Motherboard)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 ( Processor)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130623 (Graphics Card)
The rest is just power supply, so not relevant, neither is case or OS really.
Now I would prefer if possible to stay at the $200 dollar price range, but I'm willing to go over if that's what it takes. Please offer me some suggestions. Maybe I could link the graphics card I already own to another one, or something, idk. I'm willing to consider all valid options.
If I desperately need more ram or another piece of hardware, let me know! Thanks everyone!

well you cant sli with that board so new video card is your only choice. Unless you find a budget board that an sli, and your psu is powerful enough and another 560 which by the point it would be a wasted investment in my eyes. Try to wait and see if maybe you can get a 7950 on sale or maybe even a 760. I saw them drop as low as 200 but its quite rare, usually hover the 250 market.

My monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080. Do you think if I buy the Radeon 7950 it will keep up with the new games for the next gen systems coming out? I don't want to have to upgrade again during next gen game releases. I want to get close to max settings for new games like dragon age 3 and watch dogs or whatever new games coming out will be.

I would believe so...its still a very powerful card and remember max settings sometimes is things you will never even notice...and also remember games like far cry 3 and crisis 3 were both meant to push current gen tech to its limits.
