Could the GTX 950 run let say the witcher or fallout 4 on high to ultra?

No graphics card under 150 pounds is going to be able to run it on High/Ultra settings. With your build though, the nVidia 950 is about the best video card I'd toss into that rig. Maybe the 960, but that's as high as I'd go unless you plan on doing a major upgrade in the near future.

In order to run those games at ultra 1080p smoothly, you'll need to spend atleast more than 250 pounds and get r9 390/ gtx 970.

GTX 950 is the best mid-range card, simply means it can run triple A titles at med-high setttings at 60 FPS 1080.

Triple A titles don't look bad in med- high settings anyways.

If you play multiplayer games like BF4 which was released in 2013, pretty old , you can run it ultra 60+ FPS no problem in GTX 950.

There is gtx 960, but it is 30 pounds more than gtx 950, but gives only 10-12 FPS more than GTX 950, not worth it.

You can always overclock GTX 950 which can give you 5-6 FPS more.

Thanks for the advice mate i Think i will go for the GTX 950 then upgrade again next year BTW do you know what the 750 ti performs like it's a very cheap card 90 pounds look tempting

Good low budget card that will serve you well for a year, plays triple-a titles , witcher 3 for example at low settings 1080p smoothly , med- high settings at 900p.

As i mentioned, these games won't look terrible in low-med settings, and it's just for a year.

Thanks for the help mate i'll have a good think about it first but i'll probably opt for the 950 since its only slightly more expensive cheers

Welcome and Yes, i'm with GTX 950 personally aswell. GTX 950 is worth it over 750TI , unlike the GTX 960 over the 950.
Good Luck 😉
