GPU or Keyboard

Hi, trying to decide whether to upgrade my keyboard or gpu.
I'm looking at a ducky shine 3 tkl, which I have the money for now. Or I could save the money and put it towards a new gpu, was looking at either a 270x or 280x.

Current keyboard is a Logitech k340 wireless and current gpu is an HD 6850.
Help me decide please.
Thanks.

Although everyone is suggesting gpu, still not sure. I know the ducky would be a nice treat though, Christmas and all that. :/

Is it worth spending the extra cash on the 280x over the 270x?
Rig spec is
i5 4670k
z87 gd45
g skill 8gb 1333mhz
ocz zs 550 80+ psu
if that helps.

i would save up and go for one of these

YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock ACX 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (02G-P4-2774-KR) £275.99
1 x Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X Rev2.0 WindForce 3X OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Battlefield 4 PC Game £275.99
Total : £561.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Anyone had experience with either of these? I'd like a gpu that's pretty quiet or at least not to noisy, as I listen to music a lot and I sit with my rig right next to me on my desk. Thanks for all the help so far guys! appreciate it!

Sorry didn't want to start a new thread.
I've decided on a 280x but wanted to double check that my psu ( OCZ zs 550w 80+ ) is ok?
spec as follows:
i5 4670k
MSI z87 gd45
G.skill 8gb 1333mhz
WD 1TB blue
Plextor 256gb ssd.
I'm also looking to clock in the near future. Thanks.
