Ok, Due to having to pay for car repairs last year, I unfortunately never made the upgrade I was planning. However it's a new year and I have some extra money lying about.
I can probably spend around the £300-£350 mark this time and I'm hoping to grab something that will last me a while.

What are the best options open to me?
I currently run 2 monitors each at 1600x900 (all I need atm)
 
Currently running an I5-2500k at 4.5ghz with a 650watt psu. Use only one of the monitors to game, other is usually on twitch or something. I play a lot of different games but I do like to play them on max settings and this is where the 560ti is started to show it's age.
 
My 560ti is running the stock speeds, terrible overclocker though(Palit 2gb model). Moment you even oc it by 1mhz the thing just freezes up and forces a hard reset.
Running a AsusP8Z68-V/GEN3 as my mobo btw, in case this helps.

The 780 does look very nice, especially with the money off. I think my 560ti may be on the way out tbh it's started running at 100% in several games (WOT,Metro:LL,Witcher2 Skyrim espeicllay with ENB running)
Will I be ok with my current psu?
