I need help as to which Graphics Card I should buy with this build

[pbmusic]

I'm looking to spend no more than $200, and would like to have smooth FPS on pretty much any game. My friend recommended a Radeon R7 260X, but I believe that NVIDIA cards work better with Intel CPUs (I could very well be wrong though). So let me know what you think would suit this build well and keep in mind that my PSU has 600 Watts. If I needed to upgrade the PSU, I could, but it is not preferable!
Here are my specs:
PSU - Corsair CXM 600W
Case - Rosewill Blackhawk
CPU - i5-4690 Haswell Quad-Core 3.5 GHz
CD Drive - LITE-ON DVD Burner
Storage - 1 TB Western Digital Blue Hard Drive and 120 GB Kingston SSD
Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SLI
RAM - 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series

You can do better. Grab one of these GTX 960: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%204017%20600537575&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICED&PageSize=30

Btw, there's no difference which card (AMD or Nividia) you use with Intel processors. There is however a slight edge Nvidia is said to have in their driver maturity. That would translate into less overhead in gaming instruction execution.

With $200 You could get a GTX 960 which is much faster than a R7 260X.

The AMD alternative is the R9 280:

what if I wanted to go a bit cheaper closer to $150ish?

Then stick with the slower R7-260X, GTX 750 Ti, or even the R7-265 if you can find one at that price. But your framerate will suffer forcing you to lower in-game settings to get that smooth game play you requested.
