ok, so as the title says im looking for a graphics card to upgrade my current system, and which will be used in a future build. so from point A to point B: rite now i have an nvidea GeForce GTX 275 by BFG, while it suits my needs rite now, im looking for something with a bit more capability/power, and decent future proofing. as far as future plans, im looking for something that can support 3 monitors, so surround in mind, on at least 2 way SLI, as well as use the new shadow play feature for game recording. so its primary use will be obviously gameing (titanfall, skyrim, bioshock) on high settings, and video editing. i can go as high as 250$ per card (buying a second at a later date, so not too much financial worry there). im looking at the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 superclocked 2GB rite now, and will im certain this will do what i want, im looking for a second opinion. thanks in advance.

In your budget the GTX 760 is the card to get, since I notice that you are only interested in Nvidia cards.
If you can bump the budget to 300$, you can step up to a GTX 770.

Edit: Here are some prices for different brands of these cards:

thanks for the input, just noticed the power requirements for the card, and thankfully my current power supply can handle the 6+8 pin, but what would you recommend for the future if i plan to have 2 way (at least) SLI with this card?

I don`t wanna sell you any stories that I don`t believe...
For my rig I`ll always try to get the strongest single GPU I can afford, and try to avoid SLI or X-fire. Hence I`m not the wright guy to answer this question...
