help picking the right gpu

[SlipperyPuddin]

so im running fx 4150 on a 760g 8 gb ram 450 w psu. im trying to figure out whats the best card for me.i was looking at the gtx 750 ti oc on sale 139. after rebate but the more research I do the more stumped I become. Benchmarks, Futuremarks are pretty easy to figure out. (random question)what confuses me is a gtx 580 is almost as good as 760 in passmark so how do things like this reflect on gaming as a whole.just wondering if i might be better off going with older radeon or nvidia off say ebay as they will still be more beautiful than anything ive ever seen on my own pc lol.  of course I'd like to game on the best settings I can in 1080 if possible and just trying to figure out whats my best option in the 100-150 dollar range i suppose for new or used and is my psu big enough i assume it wont be for a bigger card. I built this pc for under $200. and its the fastest thing ive ever owned so not sure if buying a card worth twice as much as my build is the right thing to do any help would be appreciated just a noob who does way too much research lol

are you going to be playing between 1080p & 720p in games? overclocking will help gain a better fps (min/aver/max)

 

I'd go with the 750 ti. You don't need a pcie power (if you do/don't have one) to power it, all the power it needs comes from the 16X slot when you connect is.

If you're happy with second hand or open box, you can quite happily get a GTX 760 for that price.

 

Have you looked at the AMD R9 270x?

im open to either i went 750 ti only due to power consumption and im using the psu that came with case so didnt wanna get bashed for not having 80+and no pci e connectors lol  . i want to play games in the highest settings possible and still be relevant 2 years from now. personally i just have no benchmark to go off of I was set on building an 8 core when i didnt i was still amazingly suprised how great this pc runs I just dont wanna do that same thing think i need a 760 if i dont need 1 thats all.. but every review or test says things like 750 ti barely faster than 650 ti which is 50 bucks cheaper... is that something a new to pc gamer would be able to tell the difference between. im watching r9 280s go for like 160 bucks is that a better route(again only waivering due to my psu) im cheap, i can afford a 760  and a 750w 80+ psu thats under 300.00 ( i can schmooze the wife) but do i need it is the real question... i know i only have 760g mobo so not sli or extra bells n whistles so do i spend that much. or does my wife inherit a 4 core fx with a $100.00 gpu in 6 months lol

I agree with going the EVGA GTX 750 Ti http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDG3PRI route. Excellent performance per power used.

well this was the one i was going with had higher clock speeds watched and read different reviews where it was faster quieter and more overclockable. your thoughts please??
