Looking for some advise for a GPU

[Augurian]

I'm looking for some advice; I've bought a basic system over the last couple of months (upgraded from an old core 2 duo/9800gt, which definately needed a replacement). Now I'm trying to decide what GPU to put in it.

I'm looking for something which can play current titles at 1080p (I've got a dual monitor setup, but use one for gaming). I'm not looking for the fastest ever stuff, I'm fine with "just" medium or high settings (hell, I'm currently using the iGPU ). I mostly play games like GW2, the Assassin's Creed series, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls series, Tomb Raider. I'm looking to spend around €250,- (in the Netherlands), which could get stretched a bit if needed.

 

The system I've got at the moment is as follows:

 

CPU Intel i5 4690

CPU cooler Cooler Master 412S

Motherboard Asus H97M-E

Memory Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB kit

PSU Cooler Master G550M

Storage Crucial MX100 256GB & Western Digital Green 1TB

Case Fractal Design Define Mini

 

I'm not an overclocker (as evident from the system so far), so I won't be tweaking everything to get it faster. The PSU has quite a bit of headroom left to power just about any GPU though, the current 900 series wasn't released yet when I bought that, so that shouldn't limit me in any way.

I was thinking that the GT960 would be nice, but that turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. But around that performance point is what I'm looking at... So any idead? 280x? Wait for the 300 series? Wait for a 960ti perhaps?

I'm not in a hurry to buy something right now, waiting wouldn't be a problem too.

At that budget... this one
