Yep, I was just focusing on the new-GPU-under-$300 part, but you're right and I expect that the OP will need to replace the PSU for all the options I mentioned, except maybe the 960.

amd i can go high up as a 270X 4gb, without having to replace the psu, Nvidia side we'll have to wait for the new ones and the psu requirements

The 270X is a good card. It'll play most things on medium settings.
