OK so right now im needing a cheap graphics card to be able to run fortnite on 1080p60 and probably PUBG on 1080p60 very low, and in my country old gpu prices are still at its normal prices and the gtx 1050 is around $180, which is alot of money here. and my budget is roughly $84. My only choices are :
~GTX 750 Ti ($76.47)
~GT 1030 ($72.99)
~R7 265 ($83.42)
~R9 270 ($83.45)
or a
~R9 270X ($90.37) - might not be able to get this.
Which gpu should I get for my build?

The logic is, it's worth taking a chance on a used good spec card, over a new low-budget card that will be junk. Obviously you take a chance buying used, but if seller is local, and is selling due to upgrade, seller might demonstrate card in working order.

However, based on your list, and based on bench spec:

1. R9 270X - This is slightly better than the GTX 1050 (in some tests, and slightly worse in others).

2. R9 270 - This is slightly worse than the GTX 1050.

3. R9 265
4. GTX 750 Ti
5. GT 1030

The rest are progressively worse.
