Why not just get both for $280? But yeah - $160 is a good deal.

No.

 

You can get an R9 280 brand new for $140-$160 that is a much better GPU.

 

Edit*  Oh wait, Canada.  errm.. let me check.

 

Edit #2*  Ya, $160 isn't a bad price.  Just make sure it is working properly.

I'm not sure if it is really worth it to upgrade from a 650Ti to a 760 though... 

 

I mean, yea, its an upgrade, but not a massive one.  Better to wait until you have more money to really buy a much better GPU with at least 3GB of VRAM.  Thats my advice.

Upgrade from a 7850 to a 760 was a noticeable improvement at 1080p - it will be even more so for OP coming from a 650Ti.
