I am confident about most of this, but might get a lower Processor for a better card. PC part picker here.

If you are willing to spend an extra FIVE DOLLARS you can get much better performance by switching to GTX-750.

r9 260x and gtx 750 both are good, its up to you if you chose to go green or red, remember that red has mantle and green doesn't.

Yeah, GTX 750 Ti is the way to go for the most performance in that price range.

Your CPU comes 15 dollars cheaper on newegg as well as.

you say 750, then you link to 750 ti source... I was gonna go with the 750 ti a while ago with the g3258 but i needed a quad core or higher and found this proccesor, so i needed to turn down the card, now i cant afford the 750 ti so should i go with 750 or 260X?
