When I built my system it was more for hobby than actual gaming and along the way I have upgraded lots of parts.
One thing I bought that is total overkill for my needs is a EVGA 680 GTX 4 gig with backplate I lucked into a deal and only paid $479 which at the time was a great price. I am selling it on ebay and look to get close to what I paid back (currently $450) so with that out of the way I need to get a card that will still perform well and not be too out of place in my rig.
Budget for new card $250 max Games I play a little are BF3 and Borderlands 2 and MS flightsim on 27" 1920 x 1080
My rig I5 2500K OC to 4.6 Gigabyte Z68-UD4 Vertex 4 256 ssd 16 gig corsair vengeance ram AX850 PS Custom WC loop D5 dual radiator 360 and 200

Solution
You may have greater success looking to trade your 680 for a 660 + cash. If you're selling the 680 alone they generally don't sell very well unless you give a very good deal.
Just my two cents.


Currently the ebay High bid on my 680 is $450.00 so That is a fair price and much better than I could have got here.
I am still undecided on what to get.
My top list would be 660 660ti or 7950.
The only reason I may go up to 7950 is waterblock availability.
We will see what is available once the 680 auction is over.
 


That's a really good price you're getting for your card. Never sold on ebay before so I wouldn't know.
I'd say the 660 or 7950 is your best choice unless you get a used or heavily discounted 660ti.
Good luck :)
