I am building a pc, but I want to squeeze as much performance from it as possible, without breaking the bank. As I live in the UK I know there are price differences between different geographic locations among users but I wanted an opinion anyway. I have decided what the other parts of the pc will be and I'm only unsure about the GPU. Currently I can get:

1) MSI R9 270X 2GB £89.99 (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-226-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1982)

2) XFX R9 380 2GB £143.26

3) Asus GTX 950 Mini ITX 2GB £120.00

4) Gigabyte GTX 960 Mini ITX 2GB £146.95


Here's the build(theoretical) :

P.S: I used PcPartPicker to find all price for the GPu's I listed above(except the first one,link included in brackets).

Thanks in advance

Love those ITX builds.
This is the first I have seen with Skylake i3-6100; It looks to be a real winner.

You will find that the price/performance is comparable among all graphics cards in this category.
It is very competitive.

The case will accept a graphics card as long as 13" so do not restrict yourself to a more expensive card that is unusually short.
Watch out for height; some cards with fan coolers are taller than normal. Max is 4.78"
My preference would be a card with a simple blower cooler that gets heat out of the case directly.

Here is an example of the type:

number 2 hands down, overclocks pretty well because its rebrand from hd7950, it has 3gb vram, unlike those 3 you listed and when it comes to perfomance it is basically as powerful as gtx 960

EDIT: you listed xfx r9 280 as 2gb? it have only 3gb versions so are you listed wrong GPU or ....?

The R9 cards generally require 75w more than the comparable nvidia card.
For example, the R9-280 you linked is recommended to use a 550w psu:

pcpartpicker picked the 950/960 cards by default, it just happened to be the ITX ones. By the way I meant to type 380,not 280 I made mistake. sorry

Running an Intel i3-6100, and the Silverstone Raven RVZ-02B mini ITX case. As described above by someone else the case can accommodate GPU's up to 13".
