Which games and what's your motherboard?

This is the best for your budget but you'll need a decent PSU to power it http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9280gaming3g

Do you know what PSU you currently have?

Jacob19 :

OK, what's your power supply and what motherboard?

The R9 280 card is the best you can afford *IF* your PC can support it

OK, super, it will work, I suggest this power supply http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 or this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10600kr

The XFX is better made but obviously costs a little more
