I would say the 280x its pretty close to the 960 in price and is quite a bit faster. But that will push your power supply hard and probably shorten its life 500watts is pushing it for a 280x. But at 900p any of those cards is overkill and will probably max every game out now a gtx 750 ti would be perfect for that resolution and is pretty cheap.

If you do not want to upgrade your PSU nor pay much more than $200, then the GTX960 would be your best current choice.

K, thanks for replies
I too want to play at ultra and want to future proof for at least 1 to 2 years
In this case, would a gtx 960 will be good enough?
And wat abt R9 3xx series

how urgent you need the card? latest rumor suggest that AMD R 300 series might not going to come out until Q2 at the least

for your resolution even 270X will be enough. unless you want to push absolute max setting on every game

i can wait for 2 to 3 months
and i want to push every game at its max (Titles like Crysis 3 has an exception, and i don't even like them much)
