Need help updating gpu

I'm going to be updating my graphics card soon. I have a amd phenom 665 black edition 3.4 quad core processor. What's the best Gould I can get for the $150-$200 range. I have 8 gigs of ddr3 ram. I would like to play rift, diablo 3, and maybe archage at high to max settings 1920x1080.

GPU = http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R5750MD1G.html#hero-over...
PSU = http://raidmax.com/psu/rx_700ac.html

Ram = 8 gigs G. Skill Sniper

Thank you

What are you looking to spend and what does the rest of your system look like. What types of games do you play?

When you update your graphics card, you want it to be a significant jump, or you may be disappointed.
Look for a three or more tier upgrade from this list:

How strong a card you can use will be limited by your power supply.
Here is a list for that:

Ultimately, your cpu will limit the effectiveness of a high performing graphics card.
In the meantime, I suggest you buy the strongest upgrade your wallet and psu will allow. You will get better fps or more eye candy at least.
If/when a cpu upgrade happens, a strong card will be easily transferred.
