GPU Upgrading

Hi

I could really use some help on deciding on what to upgrade my GPU to, currently have a ASUS GTX 750ti, but I now have $260/£200 to spend on upgrading, and I already upgraded my CPU to a i5-6500
I'm not a huge "gamer", and I don't play a lot of Fps heavy titles, most consuming I'd play are Rust and GTAV
I went through some sites, looking around for brand new ones, and I've been looking these cards :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B012G7VCGU/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00UHHXXH8/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE#nav-search-keywords
And 
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01KHWOB78/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
But I just can't decide if I want 2,3 or 4 GBs, if I want a 1060 or 960, or if I should even go this high

Thanks

I gotta disagree on this one. IMO 3gb is too little for a mainstream GPU and in games like GTA V (which the OP will be playing) the 3gb can easily be used up at 1080p. I would personally go for an rx 470/480 4gb.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Here I found these:

The first card is a little more powerful (maybe 5-7% more fps) but costs £15 more. If you want to get the £200 card then great, if you want to save a few bucks and get a small fps drop that's great too.

So far the 480 is the better option, but honestly, looking at local used sales is the best option.

3GB is very bad (as a 3GB 970M and R9 280 owner - it's not enough)

4GB minimum, 6-8 preferred
