I recently bought a new computer . Heres the amazon link with all the specs of the computer .
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0111MU6OA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The graphics card is a AMD Radeon R7 200 Series . I want to upgrade this to something that can run Ultra graphics on at least something like battlefield hardline . I currrently can run it in Medium with perfect frames . The amount i would like to spend is up to $200 . im willing to get $260 max . Thank you for the help .

The R9 380 is slightly better than the R9 285, essentially the same GPU with a higher clock speed. By no means bad but I would guess the R9 480 would be a minimum of 50% faster, perhaps even more, closer to the R9 390/390x.

The gtx 970 is a little over 260 dollars, but will easily get you ultra settings with really good frames. Im pretty sure that it will run BFH ultra 60+ fps. But It is a little over your budget.

AMD does have some cheap but good gpu's. Although I dont know much about amd, the r9 290 might be something for you. But like I said, I dont know much about amd cards. :/

I can't see the psu listed but if is compatable I would buy the R9 480. You may not be able to get hold of one for a few weeks but it will beat any card in that price range. The 4gb version will be about $200 and the 8gb at about $240. I would recommend the 8GB and make do with the R7 250 until you can get one.

Thank you for the response . i found this for $190 (cause its used) would this work? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZGF3TUC/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ im looking at gpu benchmarks . Heres the link http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+R9+285+%2F+380 . If you think the r9 480 is more necessary then i'll decide on that one more
