Recommended step (or two) up from my HD6870 OC?

I've got an MSI HD6870 OC in my rig (see sig.) and keep getting the urge to upgrade. I guess I could afford £150-200 on top of whatever I could get for my old card, (any ideas on what to sell it for? - it's around 8 months old and practically mint).

I almost exclusively play Guild Wars 2 and the current card sometimes struggles on high settings when there's a massive battle online for example. I also edit photo's in Lightroom and PS6 on this system.

Suggestions and best bang for buck pointers much appreciated.

Thanks.
 
I went from a Sapphire 6870 to a Gigabyte 7950. Great change.

I did give a very nice boost in frame rate and im very glad i didn't go for anything less.
The gigabyte card seems quiet, but I never really have a decent concept of noise, so im probably not the best one to comment about this.

You are likely to get about £100 for your current GPU so HD7950 should be possible.

Most 6870's have gone for around £65-£70 on here recently, although Porceliamone might get a little bit more due to the cards' age / warranty left.
