I'm planning to buy a gaming GPU for about 200 dollars. I need one that can run the games listed below. My GPU at the moment is the Nvidia Geforce GT 630. It has given me a good 7 month use but it is time to upgrade! I was thinking of some kind of GTX or if you have a AMD one that is good feel free to suggest!

League of Legends
Left 4 Dead 2
Dungeon Defenders Eternity
Minecraft

(None of these games are too high demanding graphics wise)

R9 270X is your best bet. But IF you can exceed 200$ then the GTX 760 has received a price cut to 219$

Spend $20 more and get this great card

LoL ultra settings = 130-200fps
LFD2 ultra = 65-80fps
DDE ultra = 45-60fps+
Minecraft maxed = 100-300fps

I think the 270x is cheaper than that. It costs 180$ in the US.

I agree with the other guys. I have a 270x myself and it's a great card. If your PC doesn't have very good cooling options, make sure you find a model with multiple fans. I have a Sapphire brand 270x (I personally only buy GPUs from Sapphire) and I never hear the two card fans and it never overheats. You also have a few options with that card; you can get a 2GB tri-x cooling model for a few extra bucks, or even a 4GB model(I recommend extra cooling for this card though).

Looks like you can get an R9 280 in that price range now.

The 270x and 280 aren't that much different as far as benchmarks go. The next step up to consider would probably be a 285 since the differences are a little more noticeable and the price isn't too much higher
