How much are you looking to spend?

I would probably go for the GTX 760, it's around $250.

im from the uk btw. not really caring about price... so nothing over £450? im sure there is a card out there that is popular among gamers and they get good frame rates

btw, u have a evga gtx 680 and you're telling me to get a lesser card??

If price isn't a concern then we need to revamp your parts list. Get the unlocked model of that CPU, the i5-4670K, get a Z87 chipset motherboard for it that supports overclocking. That power supply is very average, go with the Seasonic 550w, and then go for the GTX 770 GPU. This might use up that 450 pounds but you will have a stout gaming PC for a few years at least.

But still the GTX 760 is also a great card, that's the card I would recommend for gamers on a 1080p 60hz monitor.

EDIT: I don't have a GTX 680 anymore, I have an AMD R9 290. I switch parts a lot, it's a hobby for me. You don't need that much power though, it all depends on your monitor(s) resolution and refresh rate.

Also I recommended the 760 before I knew your budget, looking at the parts you picked out, you had an average CPU, average motherboard, and average power supply, it would be poor advice for me to tell you to get a 450 pound GPU.
