This will get you much better performance. At that budget, you want to squeeze every dollar you can into the GPU. The 2GB 7790 is a perfect budget card.

You will be able to run BF3 (not 4) at a mix of High/Ultra, which is awesome at this budget :)

Metro: Last Light? AC4: Black Flag? Just to name a couple that will wreck a 260X at 1080p. If you don't mind turning down the resolution to like 1600x900, then the 260x will do most games at that resolution without a single problem at all.
