My buddy wants to upgrade his GPU but with his build being dated, I am not to sure on an reasonable upgrade that won't bottleneck.

CPU: i-5 2550K
RAM: 8GB DDR3-1600
MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V LX
PSU: EXTREME GEAR 600W (Model: XG-P600)

His CPU is liquid cooled as well. Not sure which model cooler but its about a 4 year old CyberPower PC.

He has a $300 budget.

Thoughts on a solid GPU or even a GPU+PSU?

I have read up on that card and PSU. All good feedback. Thanks a lot and this is the route I am sure he will want to go. Getting both upgraded and stay under budget.
