Well, you could always get an AMD R9 card like the R9 290 or 280. Reason being that you already have an FX-8320 and if you paired that with an AMD GPU you'd get some extra perks in AMD Mantle titles such as Battlefield 4 (the Mantle path being added by a patch this January... this month!).

I'm not sure if you prefer nVIDIA or not but it is something worth considering. Games such as Star Citizen, Thief and even a handful of game engines to be used for various games are all heading towards the Mantle path.

Mantle will allow your FX-8320 to actually use all of its 8 cores in feeding your graphics card directly. Provided that Graphics card is an AMD card (Mantle can work with any CPU/GPU but nVIDIA is as of yet reluctant to throw in their support).
