Best Gfx card for under £250

[steve967uk]

Hi all

My GTX 580 has died so i'm looking at a replacement, I have a budget of £250 and have picked this card as my replacement: http://www.ebuyer.com/667421-msi-gtx-780-twin-frozr-gaming-le-3gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-n780-tf-3gd5

Is this the best card I can get for under £250? I have checked a few different sites but I am a bit out of date with hardware. Your help and suggestions, if any, would be appreciated.

My PC:
Intel i5 2500k 3.3 GHz overclocked to 4.5 GHz
Asus P8z68-V Pro mobo
8gb DDR3
Windows 7 64b

Cheers.

If your getting 780 for cheaper than 970 in your country than no doubt its a best card go for it.

I think they are more expensive plus I'm not sure how much of a gain I will see I was just thinking about future proofing.
We thinking the one I linked is the best then?

I think the 780 that I linked benchmarks better than the r9.

At stock speeds the R9 290 usually just edges the GTX780 out at 1920x1080 but the differences are either too small to worry about or both cards run the game being benchmarked at such high FPS any differences are unimportant unless you have a 120Hz (or faster) display.
If I were you I'd stop holding on and grab that GTX780 before other savvy people take them.

Aye agreed.
