I was already planning on buying a new PSU haha, this thing is ancient. I might be able to afford a R9 290, but that would be a used one then. (Also, will have to make me remove some plastic stuff to clear enough space in my case.) Is buying a used GPU a smart idea, or would I be better off buying a new, less powerful card?

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to the whole GPU thing, as I've been a console gamer for years. So my current setup is: Intel i5 3570K ASRock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo, 8GB GDDR3 1800 (I think..) RAM 400W PSU (Need to upgrade this aswell.) So my issue here is that I want to get a new GPU as soon as possible, but can't decide on which one to get. I want a GPU that will last me for at least a year, at high or ultra settings in most games (Battlefield, CoD, Assassins Creed, GTA, that kind of stuff) And my budget for the GPU is around 200 euros (250 dollars) Is this a reasonable expectation, or am I talking nonsence? And what card would you guys get in my situation? Also, the max length of the card is 280mm, otherwise I'll have to get cutting into my case haha. EDIT: Figured it might be of use to post my monitor, its an Iiyama G27773HS 27" 1080 144hz
