I'd aim for a GTX 970 at that budget if the system is for gaming:

Thanks! Thinking of upgrading motherboard to get SLi support, so decreasing size of SSD.

What do you think?

 

[jimmyEatWord]

why not buy amd for gpu , it's less picky when it comes to crossfire , you can do it on cheaper mainboards

 

[Ottermad]

personally i have heard better things about nvidia especially when using multiple monitors but if there is little difference i might consider amd. are amd cheaper?
