Hi everyone, My 560ti has been really good to me for the past 3-4 years but i think its time to upgrade. Im looking for a replacement card that is comparatively better than what i have and would not bottleneck with my current config.
*CPU: Amd phenom ii x4 965 be
*Motherboard: Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5
*PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power plus 600w

I would recommend that you just save up your money to buy an entirely new system instead of sticking a new graphics card onto an older system.

Have a read here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-revi...
A great deal depends on the type of games you're playing and screen resolution (as well as budget hint...hint).
The 965 be is unlocked, consider overclocking it to release more performance, particularly in current titles, as they all benefit from a fast/er CPU.
I'll suggest the top choice would be the GTX660 (the Ti version if you can find one at a decent price),HD7870 or its replacement, the R9 270.
If you're on a 1080 monitor and want the most eye candy, consider the GTX760 or R9 280 just be aware both will be held back by the current CPU if it's at stock speed, less so if overclocked. Either will be a nice companion to a faster, more heavily upgraded future system BTW.

I'd disagree. The 965BE is still a very quick processor. I've played several high end games on mine when I dont have my 2500K to use. It will slight bottleneck anything above a 7950 but I wouldnt be worried about a bottleneck still.

Overclocking will alleviate the bottleneck.
