Upgrading from 560, recommendations?

Hey guys,

 

Looking for a new video card. Upgrading from a GTX 560 2GB that just isn't cutting it anymore. 

 

Not an extremely heavy gamer like I used to be, but I play games from time to time. What would be the best card for the money at the moment? I'm currently looking at the AMD R9 270X.

 

If anybody could leave suggestions, that would be great. Thanks

My build:


CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4.0GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 RAM: 12GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 Storage: Samsung 120GB 840 SSD Cooling: Corsair H100 with Noctuas Case: Fractal Arc Midi R2

Also 760, but I'd wait for the 760ti to be seriously honest

There probably won't be a 760ti and if there is it wouldn't be worth when Maxwell comes soon this year

Hope I could help!
