If you are building it in a couple of months, then the 300 series and the 900TI series will be out, so I think you should get one of those. Also, what is your budget?

titan x might definitly help;-)

I'd suggest getting a 970 - only in a few games you might be not able to reach really 60fps, but they are a small amount. If you can afford it, get a 980, but i don't think this card is worth the premium price tag

my budget is $750 for the whole system itself

this would be also a possibility, but we all cannot make any recommendations on this cards.

I wrote my previous post to pick the best card for this build on the actual available cards

And what's your location?

Hard to say what the prices for the new cards will be, maybe a 370x? Although, you could always just get a 280x, and be fine at 1080p gaming.

don't think you'll get even a 970...

then best option 280x/270x or 960...

or wait for 300 series or 960 ti sort of (don't know whether nvidia plans a nvidia 960 ti)

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

GTX 970 or R9 290 for maxing things out.

GTX 960 or R9 280 for medium settings.

Look up benchmarks on YouTube. DigitalFoundry has a lot of stuff.

i was wondering if the msi radeon r9 280x would do the job

For 1080p gaming, you should be able to get high/max setting and still manage 60FPS on most games. I 1080p game on my GTX 960, and I keep settings at about high/medium/max depending on the game to get 60FPS. However the 280x is slightly more powerful then the GTX 960, and has 1 more GB of VRAM, so you should be good.
