New to computer gaming what card should I get sub £250

[carrmatthew123]

Okay so im going from a laptop looking for build a intel system and im wondering what would be a good sub £250 graphics card I was thinking of an Msi gtx 960 4gb

Nope, try to get the 290(x), if you can't then get the 280x

If you can stretch your budget £13 then you can get the MSI 290X. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-912v308001

Get a 290(x) or minimum 280x. If you REALLY REALLY want a 960 don't pay extra for 4gbs of VRAM. You'll never use it. It's just a 1080p card.

You can get a r9 290, sometimes even a r9 290x.

Why? When you can get something cheaper but better go for it. In this case, AMD.

If you want an Nvidia card, stretch the budget by £7 and get an MSI GTX 970.

I like nvidea power efficiency of the new maxwell gpu and I have in my mind a stereotype that the nvidea one will last longer run quieter and have better features?

Better power efficiency you are correct, quieter also correct better features is debatable but I would say Nvidia has better but for your budget AMD has the better card unless you are willing to go to 970 prices.

Gtx 960 or R9 290 are great choices
