The R7 250 is not a gaming card really, it will struggle horribly. If you don't mind I'll see if I can tweak your build to get some better GPU options

The GTX 750Ti performs better than the R7 260X but you're right, it's more in the OP's budget! Do you think the 1Gb of VRAM is too much of a penalty for the money saved though?

What monitor/resolution are you using OP? I think the newer drivers for the 750Ti squeeze more performance out of it now than when that review was posted. I've been corrected on this assumption myself recently when I suggested an R7 260X over a slightly more expensive 750Ti
