I want to replace my GPU: Asus NVDIA Geforce 550Ti

What Brand/Manufacturer would you guys suggest that is compatible with my current Specs.

 

Budget is around $200 - $270.

 

I was planning on getting ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB 256bit.

What other GPU would you guys recommend to me?

EVGA ACX 760 is currently not available in where I am from, and I cannot order online, any other counterparts with the

EVGA ACX 760?

I HIGHLY suggest an r9 280 instead of the 760. It is in a very similar price bracket while being much more powerful.

I agree, the 280 a.k.a. 7950 can rise to almost the level of a 7970/R9 280X/GTX 770. If OP can find it for a good price, that card is recommended.

Okay, the Asus R9 280X isn't available where I'm from, so I have the options: 

 ASUS R9 270X DC2 TOP 2G 256bit ............................ (Price:$282) 

 Vga ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB 256bit ............ (Price: $302) 

 Palit Geforce GTX 760 Jetstream 2GB 256bit ddr5......... (Price: $260)

 Sapphire R9-280 Dual-X OC 3GB GDDR5 384bit........... (Price: $290) 

 Zotac GTX 760 AMP! 2gb 256bit ddr5.......................... (Price: $264)

From the Options above, what would you guys recommend to me in-terms of Price performance, that will Work or is Compatible with my Current Mobo the Asus M5A78L-M LX
