I recently got the CybertronPC Borg-Q GM4213A as a gift and I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card. I have a 150-250$ budget.

The two cards I've been looking at are the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW and PowerColor AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5. If you have any other cards you'd like to suggest that'd be great too.

The games I play are DayZ, H1Z1 and CS:GO.

Specs
Apevia X-Sniper 2 Gaming Mid-Tower
450 Watt Power Supply
3.80 GHz AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core Processor
GeForce GT610 Graphics
1 TB Serial ATA Hard Drive
8 GB Ram

I would actually consider the GTX 960. The GTX 750 Ti is a GREAT card, but older technology. The AMD R9 270 never got my attention, it requires too much power for too little card...aside from that the high heat levels in the R9 series.

I would look at the GTX 960 as a top contender. The GTX 750 Ti has really held it's down for many years, but the key here is 'years'...it's old. Give the GTX 960 a look.
