Gpu upgrade or not ? HD 7850 vs gtx 680

[GamerFreak]

Hey guys im looking to upgrade my gpu.
Currently have:
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 2gb OC
Fx 8320
msi 970 g46a
gigabyte 650w 80+ Bronze
8gb 1866mhz
256gb ssd

I saw an Gtx 680 for around 250$ its expensive where I live. And gtx 970 is about 500$ so ye.
is the gtx 680 much better card than hd7850 or should i rather wait for the Pascal series to come out.
I want to upgrade since i only get like 140 fps on CSGO and i have 144hz monitor... used to get around 200-300
Pricecheck.co.za and see the prices of gpus before giving me alternative.

BUDGET IS 250-300$.

I still use a 7850 still chugging along for me fine and dandy ??? it aint no power house but then it don't have me running to newegg to quickly replace it .. matter of fact I feel it been one of the best cards I ever used for what it is

Wait. At the price the 680 wouldn't be a big enough upgrade for your money, you'd be better served waiting. The 7850 is still a pretty solid card all things considered.

ya, that's how I looked at it .. I would like a new better card but then this poor old 7850 really has not given me a good excuse to do so

one thing i do see with amd is all the newer drivers for it over 13.12 may cause it to have issues in some way but the 13.12 works solid and with out any of the issues I get on the newer drivers [just something to ponder ]
