Recently my graphics card got water on it and shorted out. I had the MSI GTX 760. Here is a link for reference https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/N760-TF-2GD5OC.html#hero-specification . I am looking for a graphics card that either matches, or exceeds my previous graphics cards performance with a price range between $200-$240 (including tax, Canadian currency). I am simply looking to play most modern games at a decent fps. This includes Black ops 3, Fary cry 4 and Star Wars Battlefront at at least 40-50 fps on either max, or decent enough settings.

PC specs
Processor - Intel Core i5 - 4570 3.2 Ghz
Motherboard - MSI Z87-G41
Hard drive - TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB 7200 RPM
Memory - 8GB DDR3
Power Supply - Ultra HS750 Modular 750 Watt Power Supply

I have had my eye on this one http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5988#kf but I want to be sure I am getting the best bang for buck. Thanks!

The 470 is definitely faster than 460. The comparison is pretty well depicted in the graphical chart here.

You can find the benchmarking for the latest Battlefield 1 here.

So yeah...definitely worth it.

Is it worth it though? My budget is quite strict...

I'll keep it on my list. Do you have any other suggestions that are a little more budget friendly?
