For your specs, the card is a pretty good fit actually. And since you're playing on a 1600x900 resolution, you can probably turn on AA a little. And like I said before, you will be able to play most of those games on medium settings. Some games you'll be able to do a mix of low-medium and others a mix of medium-high. It really depends on the game. Metro Last Light should probably be the hardest game to run (I would imagine low-medium settings with 30fps).

1GB or 2GB should not make any difference at your 1600x900 resolution. However, if you can find a card for the same price (or very close) that has 2gb vram, go ahead and get that instead.

For you.. Honestly it really is down to the bone... I recommend you save up a bit more and buy maybe a 260x?

But otherwise to answer your question, that card you linked is good, better in most benchs than the card im going to link. BUT. The nvidia card I'm linking has 2gb of vram... any current games will need that even on low-medium settings. Up to you, Best of luck.

Yes, a lot of recent high-end games need more than 1gb of vram, but neither the gt640 or r7 250 are powerful enough to be able to take advantage of more than 1gb vram.

If you're playing on a screen that is 1920x1080 or lower and playing on a graphics settings that are set to medium, there's no real reason to get 2gb vram. Just make sure any "anti-aliasing" settings aren't any higher than 2x or 4x (depending on the game) and you'll be okay.
