Go for a GTX970. System requirements are going up quickly because of the next gen so get extra power to be 100% you will run. The 750ti will have issues with Evil Within (will run decently) and Ryse (will run on medium). Ac Unity would be a no go or would run in the limit.

These GPUs were good to handle console ports from last gen since consoles were puny weak. With the packed extra power now, ports will be demanding. Go for extra power or you will need another upgrade next year. IF you can't get a 970, the you can get the 750ti, but I wouldn't recommend it. Avoid the 670, it's the same price of the 970 and way weaker. The 970 is basically 80% of a Titan.

Can't talk about AMD GPUs because I'm a NVidia only guy, but other will help you on this one. Use this site for comparisons: GPU Boss.

A GTX970 for 720p gaming?  Thats insane lol  Talk about overkill.  And also, your suggesting a GTX970 to him whilst knowing about his other hardware in his PC.  Do you not think the GTX970 would be bottlenecked somewhat by every other piece of hardware in his machine?

The Evil Within is one of the worst optimised games to hit the market in recent years so thats a very bad example to use in the first instance.  That game should run on much lower specs than it does.
