i added the link to my list on pcpartpicker. I don't really play big name games like Fallout or anything but would not mind being able to play them on at least medium graphics if possible. I currently have most of the components in a system but when I get the i7 on black friday I figured I should get components at or around the same level as my processor but seem to be stuck on what GPU to get without completely breaking the bank ( less than 250 preferably). Feel free to make suggestions on anything in the build though! Thanks in advance

If you have (or are looking at) an i7 4790K then the GPU world is your oyster. Personally I'd go for either the Nvidia GTX960 or 970 given that the current crop of AMD cards doesn't compare either in terms of power consumption, heat dissipation or raw performance.

Yeah I bought an i7 4790k when it was on sale during Black Friday! Everything in the link that says purchased I currently own, and I'm pretty sure about all the parts besides the GPU. I have heard good things about both the 960 and 970 though, I will have to look into them a little more. Any specific model of either?

alright! I should probably go with a 4gb model right? 2gb might work sometimes but I hear a lot of games require way more now a days
