I originally had my mind set on an R9 280X back when it was going for under £200. However now its rocketed up about another £50 it no longer seems to be the best value for money. Also i'm skeptical about my PSU being able to handle that much power in a card (it's a really crappy 850W PSU by a brand no ones ever heard of). So what would the best card be for 1080p gaming would you say? Preferably around the price range of £200.

Cheers, for £50 more though is the R9 280x really worth it? Will it be noticeably better than the gtx 760

Hmm yeh 50 quid more for an R9 280x is a bit much for me, think i'll go with the 760 I reckon.

Yeah, but they're the same cards, only the 280x can be clocked higher.

Not by much and it has 2gb or Vram, except the 4gb which is uselles on that card, and cost more than most people's PCs.
Plus in Europe the 770 costs MUCH MUCH more.

At 1080p, a GTX 760 will max out most everything short of Crysis 3. It's very hard to beat the Price/Performance ratio, as well.

Honestly, for anything higher than 1080p you'd need to go considerably higher anyway, so I'd save that extra money for when those higher-end cards are considerably cheaper.

Hmmm did some more research and I've narrowed it down to 2 options:

1) A Gigabyte GTX 760 for £200 with Assassins Creed: Black Flag

OR

2) A Gigabyte R9 280X for £226 with battlefield 4

Which one guyz I've never bought a graphics card before.

Not gonna be a fanboy here, but the r9 280x is better here. Even if you don't like BF4 you can sell it for 25-30$ or so. So you'll spend as much as on the 760, while having better performance.
