I'd buy the most expensive one because I assume the higher the price the better.

My Budget is £250! Please look at my specs before saying the most expensive one.

just be sure to check the PSU because 250w is not much for a new Video Card

if you want a better VC you would need upgrade your Power Supply also

your cpu it's "the limitation" and psu it's the same.

Ultra 2014 - 2015

Better option:
MSI gtx 770 + Seasonic S12II-620 or similar

Alternative :
MSI R9 280x + Seasonic S12II-620 or similar

Ultra 2014:

Better option:
MSI gtx 760 + Seasonic S12II-620 or similar

Alternative:
MSI r9 280 + Seasonic S12II-620 or similar

Alternative 2:
MSI R9 270x (or 270, the cheaper) + Seasonic S12II-620 or similar


average-high, average card it's to much bether than highend (780, 780ti, titan 290, 290x...)

PD: i don't hate AMD, i own R9 280x but I think it was a bad choice.

To get a good graphics card you need a better CPU, I'd suggest you this:
- i5 3470 3.2GHz Ivy Bridge Quad-Core - Link £115 (because you already have a 1155 motherboard. and this CPU performance is great)
- R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 - Link £80
- Corsair CX430 - Link £30

OVERALL: £225

If you have any question I'm ready to help

I think G1620 can carry gtx770 losing only max 10 fps avg 5

that bottleneck will get much more in CPU intensive games like BF4, DayZ etc.. and since he said his budget is £250 why wasting all of it on a GPU and won't get its full potential?

@Xanoas What's is your screen resolution?

and 260x can run this games? I think "yes" but with some limitations.

@Xanoas
Motherboard revision?
And Case model?

Ofcourse it can.





Search on youtube for more.

but yes this card isn't 100% capable of running games on 1080p Ultra + max AA. You might have to lower AA or tweak some settings. but overall this card performs great at this price point. If his monitor is 720p this card will rock any game on ultra 60fps.

If you want more GPU power then you can go with R7 270 (X or non-X)
I found this one: Link

In my opinion AMD is great at low-medium range graphic cards and Nvidia on high-end cards. *price/performance*

@Xanoas Can you list what games you're going to play?

 

[Xanoas]

I just wanna play games at medium e.g bf4, bio shock infinite. My screen resolution is 1680x1050! You don't have to go crazy suggesting the best graphics cards.

This is actually an amazing idea I may just do this!

 

[RmG152]

need to know your motherboard revision.

What is that?

This is my motherboard link http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4403#ov

lol, searched without "dvi" and found motherboard with tons of revisions xD

You can carry 770 or r9 280 because your sata position it's bad (i think)

@DaZa9 option it's the best, but don't buy SAPPHIRE their quality is poor.

Yeah ive got a slow hdd i believe im getting a black screen when i load up my pc and it only has a cursour but it loads after 2 minutes.

 

[Xanoas]

Im actually thinking about doing the upgrade that DaZa9 said expect for the gpu i may change that.

If you can put more money get a 760 or 770 but I advice you not to buy AMD R9 280x, 290, 290X many users reported that they are unstable and run very hot. Or you can get R7 270X for little more money.
