If you are have the monitor, then R9 380.

The 380 or 960 are your best bets. Both are pretty similar in performance, just comes down to what you prefer as in brand.

What kind of performance does the 7970 give. Especially compared to the r9 280 and gtx 960

AMD took the 7970 and made it the 280X when they released the 200 series.
