What GPU shall I spend some of my redundancy on?

So the shop I work at is being closed in a couple of months and I'll be getting some redundancy money, not masses, but enough to put part of it towards a nice GPU as a me-present. Looking to collect some views on what GPU you would get if you could have any one at all (and most importantly why). currently looking at either a 680 or possibly even a 690, but spending £800 on a GPU doesnt feel right. is the 690 really worth the price tag? Will it mean I wont need an upgrade for like 5 or 6 years?

I second this, spend £400 now and bank the other for 2/3 years time. Spending £400 on a card in 2014 or 2015 will definitely give you more advantage than the extra £400 now.

I like the sound of this strategy the most, I think SLI is out for the question as I would like to sell my 560 and get a bit of money back for it...its only like a few months old!
 
Well, while I could afford two 690's if I really wanted to I cannot justify £1600 on GPUs alone, that's ridiculous. I think I am going to go for a nice 680 can anyone recommend me a good brand/model?
 
Thanks for your input everyone, I think my mind is set on the 670 windforce, save some money and get near enough the performance of a 680. to those advising me to wait until I get another job, I appreciate your concern, I really do, but I'm not a fool with money, I'll be fine ;P
