With that PSU i would only go as high as the R9 270 (revised AMD 7870), specifically the model that only requires 1x 6pin power adapter, to keep under your PSU's abilities & for it to be a decent performance upgrade.

If you can replace the PSU with something that has more power on the 12v rail (e.g XFX TS 550W: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-xfxts550w), then you could go up to a GTX 760 or R9 280.

You don't really have a particularly good power supply.
You could take a look at GTX 750Ti , or R9 270.
