New GPU for my rig?

[P47Fighter]

Long story short, my GPU is not working now, apparently it was my PSU 500w bronze evga fault.
Now I got a 750W gold evga PSU and I need to get a new GPU.
Here is my rig:
CPU: Pentium g3258
GPU: missing!
PSU: evga gold plus 750w
Mono: Asus z97
RAM: 8gbs ddr3

So I want a card that's enough to play most games at 1080 with at least 60 fps in ultra settings, since my older gtx 750ti would do it with fine at high settings on most games.
The most I can spend is $350which would be around a gtx 970 but, I'm afraid the CPU would turn into the bottleneck and maybe a r9 280X would do the trick and not too much of a overkill like the gtx 970 would be?

Your cpu is a dual core. any new game will be bottlenecked, regardless of your gpu. most new aaa games you can't evne start with dual core cpus.

My suggestion: upgrade your cpu to at least an i5-4690k which is 100% compatible with your system. if you have to wait, then wait but don't buy any gpu gear to your current cpu.
Buy the gtx 970 and i5-4690k, then play all new AAA games on ultra settings 60 fps.

Btw just curious, how old was your evga bronze psu before it fried your gpu? i suppose it had to be 5 years old or more?

Bought it off eBay.... I know I was a noon back then well noober.
The problem is: my budget is 350, I can't afford a gtx 970 plus a i5 4690k

Ahh you bought the psu without warranty from ebay? :/

I understand your budget is 350 but the Pentium g3258 will bottleneck any card in the range what you are looking at. both r9 280x and gtx 970 will bottleneck.

If i were you i wouldn't spend that 350 too fast. i would wait a month or something to afford a new cpu aswell , because games won't even start with your current cpu. in games which start, your cpu will hold back your gpu.

Well, I been playing games fine, but around high/medium settings, I thought upgrading from the gtx750 would allow me to set up things to ultra/really high settings.
