Is there a gpu around that's less than $200 (I'll push as far as $250) that can play Watch Dogs and GTA V smoothly at 60FPS? I have a Core i5 4690k GPU I'm looking at (if there's any better under $250, by all means tell me!) if that helps.

Here's one I found: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-radeon-r9-270x-2gb-ddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card-black-silver/2091002.p?id=1219068840893&

I don't want to buy a gpu and find that it can't handle some new games coming down the line, like Fallout 4 or something.

Thanks in advance!

50 - 60 fps and in your budget a r9 290. You need a 650w power supply though.

Thanks for that graphic it really helped. Unfortunately, I can't find an r9 290 below $250 anywhere, which is probably because I'm not looking hard enough lol. Anyway I saw this graphic card, the Radeon Nitro R9 380 4GB:

I've seen the reviews for the games I want, so I'm wondering if this is a good card. Saw one for $200 where i live the other day, so this might be the one I go with. Thoughts?

yes the 380 is good at this price range.

if you see the gtx 960 on that graph the 380 should be equal or a bit better.
