That budget puts you nicely in the R9-280X class of card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_n_1?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A430524031%2Ck%3Ar9-280x&keywords=r9-280x&ie=UTF8&qid=1433366811&rnid=1642204031

It looks like it's between the XFX and Sapphire models. I'm more inclined to go with Sapphire http:// as I've always had a great card from them, though I'll do more research before my purchase.

I've always had a problem-free experience with Sapphire. Although, the few XFX cards I've had have also been trouble free. In fact thinking back, I have never had a bad card out of the box.

The performance increase over the 260X should be quite impressive: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1044?vs=1041

Quite a significant increase indeed Yea, Sapphire tend to be quite solid. Though, you've got me thinking about an XFX card, as are a few others. With those results, I'm looking forward to whatever model I go for!
