I currently have a Asus GTX 770 2GB card and its served me well but at 2GB im starting to notice games I cant have frames at or above 60FPS. I play on a 1080p monitor and i dont need anythink overkill.

My system:
Gigabyte Z170-HD3
Intel Core i5 6600k
8GB G.Skill Aegis
Asus GTX 770 2GB
Cooler Master Thunder V2 735W

personally i would wait for pascal as your 770 is still working now a 960 is not really all that much of a upgrade or even in a few cases a downgrade
a 970 or a 390 is a upgrade but aside from memory is not like a full 100% increase in performance
a 980 is a card you should not get as it is very very very badly priced a 980 ti is overkill but a option
i for one think waiting for pascal is the best option and having a solid 45fps for now

I went from a 770 to a 780ti and it's a much faster and capable card, but the 980 is a solid card too so I would go with one of those if you like nvidia like I do. Also, get the EVGA version, it has better cooling.

I wouldn't personally go for R9 390 if it is just 1080p for foreseeable future because the 8GB of VRAM will go to waist. I have an MSI GTX 970 in my rig and I can run GTA V 60 50-60FPS with every setting turned to max and other settings turned on (FXAA, Ambient Occlusion etc.) and MFAA x4 and that only takes up a little less than 3GB of VRAM. I am in no way dissing the R9 390, as an NVIDIA user I admit R9 390 is better than GTX 970 hands down (only reason I got GTX 970 was because I plan to do SLI when Pascal arrives and SLI is more reliable than Crossfire) but I think you're just gonna waste a lot of VRAM.
I would just say get an MSI R9 380 or 380X and maybe a GTX 970 (I would recommend MSI here too especially if you wanna overclock) if you have the money but I wouldn't go any further.

The 780Ti would only be worth it for 1080p because it has only 3GB of VRAM but NVIDIA has purposefully downgraded the performance of Kepler 700 series so people will start buying Maxwell cards so it's not really worth it. The same goes for the GTX 980, $400+ is a lot to be speding on a GPU for just 1080p. $200-$350 (max) is better for 1080p.

My budget is $200-$550 I am planning later on running 2 more 1080p monitors for 3 screens total. So 1080x5760 I was thinking of getting an r9 390x and getting a second one in the future or going for a gtx 970. Im not all to familiar with AMD graphics and I heard they have poor driver support so unless thats changed im gonna be hesitant about amd. Also my main games are Arma 3 BF4 and 5 whenever it comes out and Fallout 4. Both fall out and BF4 I can run ultra past 60fps but arma still gets my low vram. So does Squad and I only average about 45FPS
