I am looking into building a new pc and i because play games such as Battlefield 4 I will probably require a powerful graphics card. Would it be better for me to spent £180 on an r9 280x or the same price on a used gpu on gumtree or ebay? I know the cards would be used and therefore they might be damaged but if anyone knows any safe-deals on used gpu's let me know.

I bought my 7970 used a couple years back from eBay and it lasted until this year when I sold it. I don't mind buying used if the deal is good enough. Just make sure to stress the card to make sure it works properly and you should be fine. Also, make sure the user has a good track record.
