GPU upgrade?

You could get a 960 or even 760 and it will be very cool and quiet but you will get no better performance for your money than a R9 290. The 960 performs like last generation cards whereas the 290 will be an awesome upgrade from a 560Ti 1GB.
The 290 has 4GB memory too and the 960 has too little with 2GB and a much more limited memory bus. 2GB memory is already outdated for games at 1080p.
Gibbo has managed to get the 290 at an amazing price with stock due in next week:

It's a great card but just keep in mind it takes up more than two slots to my knowledge.

Cant go wrong with the 290 pcs+ at £199 ordered one myself last night. plus you get the free game as well 
It's in case someone is running a cheap and crappy PSU. Corsair 650W is more than enough. One of OcUKs SuperFlower 550W runs my rig with plenty to spare.
