200-230$ is my budget for a new graphic card (I have R9 270). What's the perfect one for gaming?

Title!

My budget goes from 200-230$ and I'm not certain what should I upgrade to.
Currently rocking

8GB ram
i3-4170
ASUS VG248QE
and my power supply is really good, don't really remember how much watt
R9 270


I was thinking about GTX 960, but people say it's not good anymore for 2018.
Thanks

A good upgrade from the 270 is to a GTX 1060 6 Gig

upgrading to a GT 1050Ti isn't that much different performance wise, the 1060 3 Gig cards are not something I like because of the limited VRAM.

On the AMD side an RX 580 and a freesync monitor is a fantastic gaming combo.

In modern terms, An R9 270 is exactly the same performance as an RX 560, so to feel a big difference you need to move up one tier.

A GTX 960 isn't something I'd buy new.
