Looks like you have a fairly strong system now, but the question is what resolution are you wanting to game at? For 1080p the card to have is the GTX 1060. If you are at 1440p, the GTX 1070. If at 4k, you guessed it, the GTX 1080. But another big thing is, what games are you playing? If you are already stressing your video card with what you are playing, then yes, upgrade. If you are barely putting any load on your GPU, then there is no sense in upgrading. From where you are now, I personally would not upgrade to anything lower than a 1070, but that's me. I hope this helps.

I would think a GTX 1070 would be the best bet as well. You can probably sell your GTX 960 for $100-$125 to defray the cost of the new card. $300 for a GTX 1070 would be a great upgrade and a good match for your CPU.

The reason i wanna upgrade its i tried BF1 Beta And i had hard time to play on high with over 50 Fps. And i do play
high quality games sometime i have to push my gpu oc till it crash. And im looking for 1080p or higher but not to point for 4k just too much for me.

I've never been a fan of playing the waiting game if I need a new GPU right now. The GTX 10 series and AMD RX series are new - you might get a small decrease in price by waiting, but again, it doesn't seem worth it to me.

I don't think that waiting is the way to go. If you are dead set on buying something because what you have now won't do it, then go ahead and pull the trigger. Like Jeffredo said, you might save a few bucks by waiting, but you'll save a lot of headache and heartache is you do it now.
