Probably something like a 750ti? You need to upgrade your CPU, possibly switch to intel if possible, I'm considering switching soon myself

 | CPU: AMD FX 8350 + H100i | GPU: AMD R9 290X + NZXT Kraken | RAM: HyperX Beast 2033 16GB | PSU: EVGA G2 | MOBO: ASRock 970M |

| CASE: Corsair Carbide 88R |STORAGE: 1x WD Black | KEYBOARD: Corsair K70 | MOUSE: R.A.T 9 |

Making the jump to Intel is a costly one... I'd bother with that way down the line.

Meh, a 950 or 270x will be fine.

Yeah I know it is, but imo its better to switch before you upgrade your current cpu line, otherwise we will take the step to something like an 8350 then be stuck, and need to go to intel, like me :D
