Guys im building my first PC.

Heres what I've got so far:

CPU - intel core i5 3570k
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H ATX LGA1155
RAM - 2 x 4gb Corsair Vengeance black
HDD - Seagate Barrcuda 500gb SATA 7200rpm 3.5''
Case - Corsair SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU - Corsair Builder 750W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

(let me know what you think about all my part choices)

But I am really struggling to chose a graphics card... my budget is around £200 ($340)

Can anyone advise me on which card gives me the best performance on this budget?

your psu will handle it, and because you are on a budget, if you want stronger than a 280x then get a 290 and overclock it, it will be just as, if not faster, than the 290x when both are overclocked.

Look at the regular r9 290, quite a bit cheaper than the 290x and almost as quick. Make sure you get one with a good cooler though, the reference coolers are loud and dont cool very well.

the xfx one is fine, and no, you wont need more fans aslong as you already have 2-3.
