My Radeon HD 6850 died and I need a new card within maybe 30 days. Looking at the "Best Graphics Cards For Your Money" posts, I'm stuck deciding between the Radeon R7 250x, 260x, and 265. I don't have a preference for AMD or nVidia.

The system specs:
Windows 7 Home 64-bit
Intel i5-2500K
ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3
8GB Memory

The only games affected right now are Minecraft, Goat Simulator, and Cube World. I also want to get better games like Fallout in a few years when I can, if my card isn't replaced again by then.

I just don't want to overpay for a card that I don't really need.

Thanks in advance.

I had a similar dilemma couple of days ago and after searching for an appropriate GPU for my needs I ended up getting an Asus GTX 650 TI Boost (Similar price range)

I'm playing mostly Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls. I have also tried the new GPU with Marvel Heroes 2015. I had pretty satisfying results for both games. You may get bet better FPS with an R7 265 but the lack of driver support and issues people have been reporting pretty much influenced my decision.

Lol I heard about the problems. R7 265 is out.

It seems that the card is out of stock, and the similar items on Newegg are out of my price range (up to $150).

Here's what I had found: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121728
