This one.
It's the fastest the cooling is damn good.
Or this one.
It has worse cooling but is dual slot.

Any of those will be fine on your PSU they both pull at most 300W

i have 670 2gb, and it run all the game u mention above nicely at 1080, if i were u on tight budget, i just grab the 280x.
OR wait for :) only a suggestion GTX 960, 20 Jan 2015 release date around $200 ( u can save money till that day).
