Bullsh*t:I am building my first computer and have been planning for a while now (almost a year), and I have finally decided to spend my money before responsibilities become a issue and I have no time for gaming.
Question: I have narrowed the build down to :

-CPU
Intel Core i5 4690K, Haswell
£169.98
-Motherboard
Asus Z97-K Intel Z97
£89.96
-Power Supply Unit
750W Corsair CXM Builder series, Hybrid Modular, 80 PLUS Bronze
£65.99
-Hard Drive
120GB Kingston ssd
£45.74
(Will add a 1tb caviar black later )
-Case
Corsair Carbide Series 300R Black Mid Tower
£51.97
-Memory
-corsair 4X2mb CM3X2048 1333Mhz (From a older computer, I will get better later)
-Optical Drive
LiteOn (or what ever is the cheapest)
£11.27
-Cooling
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
£25.45
-Operating System
Windows 8
£72.97
And a Asus PCE-N15 - 300Mbps Wireless N PCI-E adapter
Basiclly the question is what GPU can I get for around £200 that will be the best for the money, no need for 3d or multi- monitor stuff only simply 1080p 60fps if possible. I am currently looking at a R9 280X from XFX for £185 but still not sure. Thanks !
P.s. If there are any problems with the build please say so !

The 280X is about the best you can get for $250 or so.

I would change that PSU to an EVGA SuperNova B2 750W. The Corsair CX series isn't good for overclocking or if you are putting any stress on it. I would also change the Kingston SSD to a Samsung 840 EVO.
