What's your budget? I just upgraded from 560 Ti to GTX 970 and been happy with that. From what i've understood the GTX 970 gives the best value for your $, at least in the case of NVIDIA GPUs. If money is not the issue, you can also go with the 980. 980 Ti might require a new PSU.
 


With 980 Ti you will be losing around 10% GPU performance because limitation of your CPU,and Dx11 but with DX12 your CPU will stop limit GPU :)

Titan X have similar performance to GTX 980 Ti

they said gtx 980 ti is the best for me without any problems

so what is really the best gpu i can use for my current processor?
 
Even if you OC your CPU this best GPU for you will be still GTX 970.
On 980Ti you will not get max possible performance but still will be faster compared to 970.
I recommend OC your CPU to have best possible performance from GPU * this do not matter which GPU you chose :)
About OC your CPU you can increase multiplier + 4 and get x38 - x42 (34+4+4) & depends to used threads this increase you CPU performance around ~11,7% :)

Well, he can't really OC because his CPU is locked.
 
You CPU is not locked is “limited unlocked” :
