Would you say Nvidia is the best bet even for an extra £300+??
Personally I think your best value for money option would be to get the 560 and then replaced that in a couple of years time with a similar card once it starts to lag. Unless you're planing on running multiple monitors or crazy high resolution which you only really need for massive screens or plugging in to a big flat screen tele.
At the moment I'm still running a Gainward GTX 260 GLH i payed £140 for about 2 years ago. I play at a 1152 * 864 resolution but can crank it up to 1600 * 900 and still get near max setting in Skyrim with the 2K HD texture mods installed (looks sexy as hell). Only reason I play at the lower resolution is because it suits my eyes playing on a 21 inch wide screen monitor, as i get eye strain at higher resolutions as the writing becomes to small.
Well I run my PC on my 40" Samsung Smart TV as it free's up a lot of space and I find monitors my eye's after a while... I tend to run all my latest PC games on 1920 * 1080 old games or games that are hard to see on 1920 * 1080 (due to small text) I tend to have about 1680 * 1050
I do tend to go for the most outragous settings and if they're mods lying around to boost the textures I will most likely go for them, I had the GTA 4 real look mod and it looked awesome, it was a good job I fitted an Arctic Accelero Xtreme PLUS II cooling fan that balkanno suggested as my card would of probably over heated by now.

In that case have a look at this chart then.
