Second (first really) road bike?

Okay, so I've been cycling for around 3 years, and I've had a road bike for 2 of those years. It's a really crap road bike, and is from a supermarket I believe (it was a gift... or a burden, you decide).
Anyway, I'm looking to buy a new proper bike. I'll be looking at entry level price bikes..
My budget is 500-600, although I've saw a few which are around 450 which look enticing.
The bikes I have looked at are the B'TWIN Triban 5, the Revolution Sabre, Revolution Continental, Boardman Road Sport 2014 and the Felt Z95 (which was on sale, but not in my size)
I need a 60cm frame.
Any advice ?
Even if it's no specific bike, I'm looking for good places to buy a bike from.
Thank you.

How tall are you? 6'5"?
How long is the virtual top tube length on your current bike?
Does your current bike fit you?0 -
I'm 6'3 and my inside leg is 92cm.
I don't know how long it is just now but it doesn't fit me. It's too small.0 -

Yeah the triban is a good choice but they don't have my size so I'm not sure I can go down that route.

Vitus Razor VR is worth a look at that sort of money. Carbon fork and Shimano Groupo
