I'm looking for a GPU to upgrade my PC with in a couple of months. I get confused with what I should be looking for in a GPU mainly due to model numbers. If you can recommend me a card or even just give me some insight to what I should be looking for it would be appreciated.

Requirements:
-Available in the UK
-£200 / $325 Maximum cost (Google conversion rate)
-No preference on Nvidia/ AMD as i will be changing Mobo because of this)
-Will be able to fit in a Corsair air 540 case
-650W Power Limit
-I am looking for a card with good performance and will last me 5 years because of build quality

it's worth to spend just a little bit more to get the 970, so it will last you 5 years. You won't regret it.

Its an interesting choice however I dont know much about the new haswell cards what do they offer compared to other, older cards? I have seen a video that mentions that the new 980 compared to a 780ti is better if you are not planning on overclocking is this the case for the other haswell cards too?

Get a 280, not a Vapor-X one though as they have noise issues. Gigabyte cards are normally very good.
