What Is The Best Graphics Card Overall? [i5-4690k]

[Kybz]

So basically, I'm going to get a new graphics card which will be alongside my i5-4690k. However, I don't know what graphics card will be best for me. The maximum price for the card will be £350. I want to play games at Ultra 1080p 60fps. What graphics card would be the best for me? I'm stuck on what to buy seeing as:
GTX 980 Ti: Amazing Performance, V.Good For Years To Come, But Too Expensive
GTX 980: Really Good For Years To Come, 1080p Gaming Version of GTX 980 Ti, But Too Expensive?
GTX 970: Best Budget, Almost Perfect For Me, Won't Be Getting Me 60fps In A Few Years?

Can you please help me decide on a graphics card that will:
1) Get me 60fps at 1080p for a long time - I don't want to keep on upgrading.
2) Affordable (I can't afford that good things 🙁 )
3) It can't be bottlenecked (my processor is i5-4690k)
4) It can be AMD or NVIDIA graphics card.
5) I'm open to getting Crossfire/SLI Configs

It's my first time building a computer and I need to be 100% sure when picking my components because I don't want to regret it later.

All opinions welcome, just please no fanboying. Give me an honest reason why the graphics card is good.

Thank You!

+ Don't think I'm being lazy asking for all of you guys to search for a graphics card for me. I've been looking for like 2 months now but different graphics card have so many pros and cons I don't know which to pick!

Thank you x2 :d

In all honesty, as much as I don't think the 980 is worth the price increase over the 970, if that is your maximum budget and you want the best performance with the best chance of keeping some future proof at 1080P, it would be the card to get right now.

If you are considering doing the 980 though, it's a little above the max budget? And does that include VAT? If it is slightly above, also consider the r9 fury air cooled version, at scanco.uk, it is 369 before VAT and it is better than the gtx 980. That would be your best bet if you could somehow manage to swing it.

EDIT: If you can't swing it, I see might be too expensive now up there. Then the 390x or the 970, the 390x actually does perform slightly better over the 290x and 970 and has the 8GB vram too. Well within your budget.

The Fury nano comes out in august and is going to be a cutdown version of the full chip of furyx but running lower clocks than the fury air cooled so it could be at a lower price.

GTX 970 or R9 390 (non x) offer best bang for buck, the 970 can be OC'd normally to 980 levels and the 390 too.

The other cards are just too expensive, the 980 doesn't offer as much over the 970/390 to be worthwhile, I assume your PSU is good enough for these cards?

The GTX 970 is the best option. If you are planning on doing strictly 1080p gaming, this card will handle almost anything. Your worries about the future don't matter as much with this option either as a) this card will hold up very well for the foreseeable future, and b) the card is only ~$330, which means that even if you felt the need to upgrade, the loss wouldn't be as great as something like the 980 or even the 980Ti.
