What is the best Graphics card for my purposes?

[IntrepidAce]

I play games that arn't tooo graphically intensive (Minecraft, F1 2013, Burnout Paradise,Ether one, Civ 5).

I'd like this graphics card to be a little overkill so I can play games of the future. Id prefer a Radeon Card, but if Geforce is the way to go Ill do that too.

Budget? And rest of the system specs?

$200 is my budget for the graphics card. If you could get lower that would be great.

It depends on what settings you want to use and the resolution you plan on playing in. For 1080p on medium-high settings a hd 7770 or r7 250x (they're pretty much the same card), whichever is cheapest. You won't need a powerful psu and could go with something like a cx430.
I currently use a sapphire hd 7770 I picked up for £70 and it can run any game on medium settings at a constant 60fps in 1080p.
If you want to play at higher settings or just want to know it'll be good for a bit longer, I'd get a hd 7850.
If you have a decent cpu (at least fx 4300/6300 or equiv.) either of these should be fine.

I would like to play these games in High(or Ultra when it applys) at 1080p

Then I'd go with a hd 7850 or equivalent just to be safe. The hd 7770 should still be fine, but might not cope with some settings like msaa.
