rule of thumb is, three tiers up from your graphic card, and you'll fell the improvement..

so, at least any card from 760 will give you significant performance boost..

but for your budget, you'll get something much much better than just gtx760..

gtx780=> http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn780...
R9 290 =>http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9290aenfc

or if you tight on budget, you can see GTX770

for $330, it's really a good choice..

A gtx470~hd6870.
If ur budget is more than 300$,then get something like the R9 290/R9 280x or if nvidia then gtx770.

GTX 770 2GB will easily enable you to play all games on high - ultra settings.

Get at least that and you are golden!
