Hello, mine gtx 560Ti was enough for me until GTA V which is playable but on lowest settings and not even close to 60fps. And soon there will be Witcher 3 and I'm afraid that it will not be playable at all. So my question is what is proper upgrade to play games for next years on ultra?

My PC is now:
GPU: EVGA Gtx 560Ti
CPU: i5 2500k
CPU Cooler: Hyper EVO212+
PSU: Corsair CS750 M
RAM: Corsair 8GB
MB - MSI Z77A GD65
Screen resolution - 1680x1024

I have to say that prices here (Czech Republic) are pretty ugly for example: MSI GTX 970 - 425$, MSI GTX 960 - 255$, MSI R9 280 - 237$ . My budget is sadly something between those cards lets say 300$. This cards are just for example of prices not what I am choosing from so please let me know what you think would be best for this pc.

I see, the 280x is in budget but whats the difference in performance between those two 280x vs 290? Because its difference of 40$. And isn´t it overkill for this resolution? And one more thing is that I found some second hand 290x for about 250$ but its with reference cooling and I heard that its very hot and loud. And I am afraid of those "miner" cards.
