My computer is roughly 2 years old. My video card just died out of warranty.(EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1567-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi))
My computer specs:
Windows 7
Intel® Core™ i7-2700K Processor (4x 3.50GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 G.Skill Ripjaws
[SLI] ASUS P8Z68-V Pro -- 3x PCI-E 2.0 x16, On-Board Bluetooth, Lucid Virtu Technology
750 Watt Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2
And some Sata 3 SSD's

So I'm looking to replace my old VGA since the on-board can't play Skyrim on ultra with mods like I prefer. Any recommendations would be great. I'm also considering getting a new power supply and VGA together. I'm still not sure if the other components would bottleneck a newer card.

-Your pc can handle even GTX Titan, so if you are not on budget, go for GTX 780 or GTX780ti, R9 290X.......
-You don't need to change the PSU, it will handle anything. And you will not bottleneck with any high end card
-What is your budget?

It can handle pretty much any GPU on the market, the only limitation is what your case can hold.
Good bang for buck options at the moment are R9 280X and GTX 770 in the $300-330 range.
They will allow you to play at 1920x1080 at very high settings.

No need to upgrade the PSU it enough to handle any single card. The cpu and ram shouldnt be a bottleneck so you can get the fastest card your budget allows.

I'm looking at spending between $200-$350 max. I'd like the biggest bang for my buck. So not double the price on a card for only a 10% bump in performance. I haven't followed graphics cards for a while though.
