I have 160 pounds currently to spend on a graphics card. I can go to 200 it just will take a few more weeks of saving. So anyway my power supply is an antec high current gamer 620w 80+. I was initally thinking maybe a gtx 760/r9 280 but i have seen some r9 280s going for 160, so can someone here reccomend me a card. Plus from what i heard the gtx 960 may be 250 pounds which is just too much so i cant wait for them.

That is a great card for the money, and unless you can find something better at the same price second hand (which is always a bit risky!!) I would definitely buy that card at that price. Plus OverclockersUK are a great business and have epic customer support in all of my encounters!

The AMD R9 285 Strix edition from Asus is available from Overclockers UK for exactly £199.99 and will deliver some great performance with a relatively low power consumption. It will outperform the GTX 760 in all games and the GTX 770 in some. It is especially good in games that support AMD's new mantle API to leverage more of new CPU's multi threaded performance. It if a really good card for the price and is relatively new. Try and get it if you can, it has some very good reviews.

At 215 pounds a bit more than your given budget the R9 290.
