If you can push out an extra $50 or so, go for a 750ti. They're great cards and exceptional for their class. If not that, try going to a Radeon HD7770. Running one right now, quietest part in my rig, keeps really cool. Runs very well (BF3 1920x1080 medium-ish at 70FPS constantly). It's about $90-100 right now.

If a $90 graphics card is what you can afford, then yes, the R7 250 is your best choice.
At $110, you can get an R7 260X, a card that's WAY faster than the 250, but if you can't push that much, then fine.
Even at $100, you could get an R7 260.
So spend like the extra $10 if you can, and get a much better card
