I've had my current GPU fo a while now(about 2-3 years) and I kinda want an upgrade. It's a Gigabyte GTX 660 (the 3 gig one if it matters for anything). What can you recommend me for a price of around 150 - 250 euro (max I can go over is 275)? Thank you in advance.

RX480 is nice, if you are willing to wait.
RX 480 should come near GTX 980 but costs only around €200.

If you are not willing to wait, go for either GTX970 or R9 390...these will be considered as waste of money after RX 480 comes to market.
GTX 970 and R9 390 are on €250-350 level today.
In a few months (1-2), GTX1070 will dominate that price segment and 1070 is like having 2 GTX970s on SLI.
In the €150-250 segment, RX 480 will rule and is about 10-30% faster than GTX970 and R9 390.

Well, if you can wait a few weeks the Polaris cards are coming out and the RX480 was announced for . . . $200, I think? And it's supposed to outperform current gen high-end $500 cards.
Independant benchmarks aren't out yet, but that might be your best bet.

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to wait for the RX 480, because I was going to buy the card at the end of July anyways.
