I have a running budget build, and am looking for upgrades.

The main upgrade I want right now is a video card. I currently run a gt730 2gb ddr3 Gigabyte card. I can run fallout: new vegas at almost ultimate graphics along with ES: Skyrim at almost ultimate graphics. Im looking to upgrade to a better card. My main goal is to run current console generation games at console level. I'm working my computer up to better than console level! So far I can beat last gen consoles. That really burns ass among my friends. Now its time to match them at their current gen. Gt960s are pretty expensive and for show off sake I kinda have to keep it low price. An xbox is 350 and provides almost 1080p. Computers are allowed to cost a bit more (because they are more versatile), but a 600 dollar machine is hard to compare to a 350 dollar machine. Total money spent I have 450 bucks into this computer. Another 150 puts the build to 600, and I'd like to keep it that way. At that budget which graphics card provides current console gen feel? Ill discuss at length my build if anyone wants to know.

IMHO the best graphics card for the money that you can buy right now is the 280 (non X version). You can find them quite easily for around 150 bucks and it can provide A HECK OF A LOT BETTER gaming experience than a console.
