Any ideas? I am unsure on wether to get another 560ti 448 core, or sell my current one (max I will get is £150 :() and then buy a 680?

Unsure...

Resolution is 1920x1080.
 
To be honest with you, I would get a pre OC'd 670, as they are about £50-£80 (depending on where you look) cheaper and perform similarly to a 680.

If you manage to get £150 for your current card, bite the hand off and run for the hills!

I have just done the very same but to a windforce 670 3x and the difference is amazing, same resolution as you :-) I would suggest the same for yourself as getting another 448 is going to limit you in vram

Just been looking at a 670! Looks like a bargain!

How much should I ask for my 560? I really have no idea :(

EDIT: Why the windforce and not the Phanton from Gainward?

Much better warranty is my understanding, I didn't buy from OC as its £30 cheaper elsewhere. Really good card very quiet and have not seen it go above 68 degress and I have it in a htpc case with not the greatest airflow.

BF3 maxed with adaptive vsync looks crazy good :-) and played crysis 2 maxed last night, smooth as butter.

EDIT. I got £155 for my 448 card on that auction site but royal mail lost it recorded delivery as the person who bought it gave me an incomplete address so am having to get a claim sorted through them, feel a bit sorry for the person who bought it but not my fault :-|
