Hi,
I have a confusion about which GPU I should choose. I want to play many video games like Smite, Skyrim, Titanfall, Dark Souls 2, and ESO on high/ultra settings with little or no lag. The GPUs are the ASUS R7250X-2GD5 Radeon R7 250X 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card and the EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5. If you can find a better one for the same or lower price, please let me know!

The rest of my build is
Processor: Intel i5 4670k ($210)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance ($85)
Motherboard: ASUS Z87 PLUS ($160)
GPU:
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Drive
($60)
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 120 GB ($90)
Optical Drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal ($23)
Power Supply Unit: Thermaltake SMART 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($60)
Heatsink Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ($35)
OS: Windows 7 ($100)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 ($100)
Monitor:Asus MX239H, 23-Inch Full HD AH-IPS LED-backlit and Frameless Monitor

Total: $1338

The 750Ti would be the best bet there. However to run games on ultra consistently you would want a higher end card, 760 is my base line recommendation.
EDIT: Just saw the PSU, as soon as you can replace it, I own a TR2, havent had any problems with mine, but many others have.

I wont recommend any of these cards, from one gamer to another don't go below AMD R9 270X or equal nvidia card, change some parts like the Intel i5 4670k too much power for just gaming for example or the aftermarket CPU cooler don't buy it now but you can always upgrade later ex.. save some money and get a better card

I agree, you need something like a GTX 680, 770, HD 7950 (o/c'd), 7970, R9-280 (o/c'd), R9-280x. GPU is the biggest factor in being able to play those games. You've chosen other excellent components, so you don't want to be bottlenecked by the GPU.
