I have got to choose between these two cards could i have a recommendation bearing in mind software/apps that come to help run the graphics card and price.

KFA2 GeForce GT740 EXOC 1GB DDR5 Low Profile Active Cooling Graphics Card £76.80

or

Club3D Radeon R7250 2GB DDR3 Full ATX Active Cooling Graphics Card £74.56

Uhm... I'm on the edge about that R7 250... I would not ever recommend a DDR3 based card, but the GT740 might be too annemic to run anything better than the R7 250 even with DDR3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbbQy9o9nZs

That video shows a comparison between a GT740 and a R7 250X (notice the X) and they are very close to each other when both use GDDR5.

So, after watching that video I can give my vote to the GT740 on the basis of having GDDR5 alone. DDR3 is too much of a bottleneck for GPUs, so try to stay away from them unless you just want to watch videos and want to play really basic games.

Cheers!

EDIT: Typos.
