What would be the best card i could get for this build to play? My budget would be around £250 for a graphics card!
Thanks.
 


If you can afford a GTX 970 or R9 390 that would be great. If you are going to overclock i would say the GTX 970 comes ahead but if not i would stick with the R9 390.

If the GTX 970 is over your budget the R9 280X is an excellent GPU for it's price point.

However if you are not planning on getting a higher wattage PSU stick with the GTX 950, it has a great performance increase compared to the GTX 750 Ti.
 


Could do a recommended build? i don't know much about pc so as simple as possible please! haha. Also i have not looked into over-clocking at this current moment, would it be worth it?
Thanks
 


You could also go with the GTX 960 which is between the 970 and the 950. The price point of the 960 2GB is around $200 and you get a 4GB version at around $250 and under.

 


Best you can do for the price:
