I have to agree with Kelthar. For that money the 760 is hands down the best choice; however it won't shine as your CPU will be bottlenecking your games. You have 2 paths:
1- Still go for the 760, hang in there with the bottleneck until you can upgrade your CPU.
2- Get a cheaper card like the 750/750Ti which and keep the savings towards a better CPU.

There are two questions for you to answer, basically:
If you buy a new GPU, when are you getting a new mobo+CPU?
This year? Get a 760.
Next year or later? Would you be willing to get a new GPU at that time to maximize performance (250$), and a "cheaper" (150$) one now?
If yes, get a 660 or 750Ti now. If not, get a 760, it'll still be good next year and the following.
