what would you say is the best graphics card optimized for this reso for it to play most, if not all, games at high (and no overkill, just the sweet spot ) ? you can suggest nvidia/ati. also a few links regarding this topic would be very helpful.

The R9 270X is probably a little bit overkill for 1440x900, but yes it does allow you generally to turn all settings up and get 60+ fps on the things that you play, so i don't think it is that much overkill that it is not worth it. The R9 270 is $30 cheaper and would do just as well for you.
Do those 2 cards would be my suggestion.

Basically a 2GB 7850 might be a possibility, but their prices are so close to the R9 270 currently that it is not really worth it. However if you can get one for around $130 maybe $140 it would be well worth it.

oops I accidentally clicked the best solution instead of the reply so I'm just gonna ask another question. Is the gtx 650 ti boost enough for this? its at 150$.

would the r9 270x be also enough for 1080p when time comes for upgrading? Also which of those 3 cards you mentioned has best performance?

Yes it is enough for 1080p. the 3 cards with the best performance are the gtx titan r9 290x and the 780ti

i meant the best card among rvilkman's post r9 270,r9 270x performance-wise and value-wise, 7850. those high-end you mentioned are too expensive for me .
