Hi. I'm looking to upgrade my Nvidia 8400 card. I have a AMD Phenom II x6 1100T processor, Crosshair Formula V motherboard, currently 8 gb ram by corsair but looking to upgrade as well and a Acer S232HL monitor. Budget no more than $250, but would prefer closer to $200. I have Skyrim V, but have not been able to play with much success. Have been looking at Radeon r9 270x 4gb and nvidia gtx 760 2 gb. Looking for opinions. I know nvidia has a little better rating, but the 4 gb is said to help with games like Skyrim V and 1080p. If there is a better card than these two in the price range, suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.

This is the cheapest 290 that I see in stock. Even still, that's a ton of GPU power for a very low price.

You are right, not quite for $200 (only after a mail-in rebate):
