Gtx 750 is decent but if you're looking to play at 1920x1080 or even higher then I guess 970 would be better, its a beast in itself.
Also if you want to be future proof then go for 970.

Gtx 750 is not good enough to play the newer games on good settings, i would suggest you to get the 970 or if you want to save some money and still get good enough performance get the 960, i have it and it works great. If you want to stay on AMD platform you can get an R9 380X, its about the same price and its good.

New AMD and Nvidia GPUs are coming out in June. Wait for them and prices will go down on older ones.

Don't buy anything til you've seen benchmarks on games. Firestrike etc don't necessarily mean it'll perform X times better.
