I would invest in an EVGA GTX 780 3GB. An excellent single card GPU that can play all games in max settings (your mobo and cpu can handle it).

Its a reliable card that gets the job done and isnt too far off in performance in comparison to the 780Ti.

If you want to go a little cheaper and not sacrifice much performance, I would go with the EVGA GTX 770 4GB. Not an AMD fan but the R9 290 isnt bad either, I just don't see it being reliable. It outperforms the 770 but isnt as efficient (reliability,longevity, efficiency sells me all day) and according to reviews with the EVGA cards mentioned, you wont be disappointed.
