I'm looking to upgrade my current AMD HD7770 as its just not making the cut with my needs anymore and i was currently looking at the a few cards already (links below) and was really just hoping to get the best bang for my buck which is why i'm here.
Ideally i'm looking to spend around 400 for both a HDD and video card although i'm willing to go a little above and i'm easily willing to downgrade the HDD to upgrade the GPU if the price is worth it. any advice would be appreciated even if its about how important certain specs are other than memory speed, engine speed, and Vram size.
Quick info
Location: Ottawa,Canada
Budget: around 400
Specs:
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H

i5-3570k

PS:I am also looking for a few 4 pin fans (got lots of 3 pins but as i don't wanna never be able to turn them off or buy a controller for them i need 4 pins) and possibly a upgraded power supply if the video card will require it (got a crappy 550w i believe, i would have to open it up and check), however these things i figure i could easily just walk into Canada computers and pick a em up for around 100 all in all so if there is no amazing deals its not a problem.

RADEON R7 370 4GB for 250$ from http://www.laurier.com/new/new/showvid
also slightly partial to Canada computers as i can go drive to pick up the card, no shipping.
