HD 7870 would be the best bang for the buck in that price range. What's your CPU? Or better yet, what's your current PCs model? And specifically, what PSU are you choosing?

Only issue I see you running into, is your case being too small to physically fit a longer GPU in it. Measure how long from left to right how long your GT 630 is, and how much more space you have before it hits a wall.

Ok the length of the GPU is 17cm (let and right) and the extra space is around 17-19cm

Take into account though when upgrading a PSU, you need to get a quality brand like Antec, XFX, Seasonic, etc.

"Gigabyte GTX 650ti Windforce"

but the gamer's choice would probably be any subvendor's GTX 660ti

so if you don't mind spending a few bucks more, get that one

Not really the best option. AMDs perform better at that price range (and pretty much every price range now).

HD7870 Ghz Edition for that price-range, but make sure you get at least a 500W Power Supply for it. (I know I sound like a broken record)

Also you need a core-i5 to get the most out of this card and 550 watt psu
GTX 670 256 bit with lifetime warranty when you activate on pny's website for 280 USD after rebate and free shipping
