Okay so I have a budget of around £120 to £150 to spend on a new graphics card, not bothered on the brand, although I do prefer gigabyte.
I am looking for a cheap card with 2GB Video RAM, that is fast enough to play modern titles at 720p (Dont have a 1080p monitor) at high/ultra and when I mean modern titles stuff like watch dogs, borderlands pre-sequel, Sims 4, The Witcher 3, Diablo 3, you get the idea of games.
I would prefer to spend less of course, and I am happy with this budget.
I was thinking a Gigabyte 750Ti Wind force edition as a replacement but is it good enough?
I also use Linux so will this be better than AMD in Linux stuff, I only do very light gaming when I am on linux, stuff like Dont Starve, my heavy gaming is done on a Windows partition.

My system is an i5 2500 8GB 1600Mhz Corsair RAM, G1 Sniper M3, Samsung 840 evo SSD and W7/Linux

Thanks!
