if $ is not an issue, 780ti

You could run all that at 1920x1080 on high to ultra with a R9-280x for ~$250 as another option

What's your current CPU, System Memory capacity and Windows version?

(i.e. i5-4670, 8GB, Windows 7 64-bit)

The best value IMO for a reasonably high-end card is the Asus GTX770.

Okay, so it really comes down to budget:

$320 - Asus GTX770 2GB
$500 - EVGA GTX780 3GB (967MHz ACX model)
$700 - EVGA 780Ti (link: http://www.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-03gp42884kr )

You probably have a good CPU cooler, if not I recommend the Noctua NH-U12S. Also, if you haven't done so perhaps buy some PWM case fans if needed and setup motherboard fan control software to run quietly.

*Every game on the market looks great on the GTX770. Crysis 3 when properly tweaked can maintain 60FPS and I don't think it looks that much better at Ultra settings which require the GTX780Ti.

My advice is get the Asus GTX770 or at most the EVGA GTX780. In a couple years upgrade to a GTX980 4GB or whatever and if you ever switch to a monitor get one with G-Sync and a high resolution (2560x1440 or 4K).
