So im thinking of upgrading the rig a  little:

heres the gist of it : Budget  : 200 euro give or take a bit.

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Vid card : Nvidea geforce 560 GTX
I was thinking about a 680 TI , or maybe a 750 Gtx.

but perhaps theres better, rather looking to improve overall performance. getting way too many stutters and laggs when playing some games. though it may not be my pc at fault. i feel its high time i get an upgrade.
Any advice?.

gtx 750 ti  looks a good card, i would go for at least a 7 series gfx card.

i have a evga 2gb 760 my self.

750 is a comparatively poor card compared to the 680 imo.   680 is older yes, but faster.   But can you get a 680 for â,¬200?

For the budget, I'd be pushing to get to a 770 (currently £229 or less, so probably just outside your budget in euros) for the better power side, or an R9 280X which is similarly priced.

Keep in mind your resolution, for higher ones make sure you get a good amount of VRAM, so for better than bluray levels try to get 3-4MB.
