I found the R7 for £110, and the EVGA 750ti is around £130 depending on store, which should I go for?
Rest of my "rig" is:
Intel Core i5 4670k Stock Speeds
4GB 1333MHz RAM
MSI Z87-G41 PC mate motherboard
Segate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB Drive
Nvidia 315 Graphics card
BD-ROM Drive
Corsair CX600M
Zalman Z11 Plus Case

It depends on what you're looking for.

 

If you're after performance then definitely get the R7 265. If you don't want to stress your PSU,  get the 750 Ti for sure.

 

Neither card will have any negative impact on your CX600M, so get the R7 265. The Dual-X is a great card. Pretty much the only 750 Ti worth getting is the $129 single fan EVGA 750 Ti. All the others are extremely overpriced and don't offer anything in comparison to the R7 265.

I've just found the 750ti FTW ACX for £120, still reckon I should go for the 265? It looks good, I only just found out about the card. I know it has a single six pin which will be fine for me. Apart from Watch Dogs which appears to run like poo on everything, will there be any specific games with a performance hit? I want to be able to play F1 2013 and Battlefield games, I'll wait for Watch Dogs to get patched.

With either GPU's, he wouldnt be near "stressing" his PSU.

That was before I saw that he had a CX600M so that's why I edited the post.

"Performance hit"

 

Compared to the R7 265? Not any performance hit that I know of, though it generally gets beat by the 265 across the board by a little bit.

Okay, I think i'll take the 265 just for the sake of the £10, it means I can get next day delivery for less than 5 day on the 750Ti, Thank you guys!.

Get the 265, it's about the same performance.

No, the 265 is slightly faster than the 660 which outperforms the 750 Ti.

Huh, the benchmarks I checked showed it to be about on par with the 750 Ti. Alrighty then, better performance.

Here is a r9 270 that's close to the price of the 750TIs I have seen.

Or even the Sapphire Dual-X version with games included isn't badly priced either:

The r7 265 isn't a bad card, but that $129 r9 270 puts it closer to that price range and it's a noticable bump up.

Meh, I definitely don't hold Powercolor in very high regard and I'm sure that a lot of others share the same opinion about manufacturers such as powercolor and VTX3D whose employees have yet to demonstrate average English proficiency. Not to mention that cooler is ugly as f***

 

Nice find though, I never knew the Powercolor was so cheap and the Sapphire R9 270 too at $149

Yeah, one problem with PowerColor is their english, but I don't see how that PowerColor R9 270 is ugly. I think it actually looks pretty cool.

Just found an XFX R9 270 for £130, That's my mind made up, unless it's horrifically loud

The R7 265 is significantly faster, especially when overclocked, and the R7 265 has plenty of overclocking headroom, moreso than the GTX 750 Ti.

Here's an apples-to-apples comparison both stock and overclocked.

Anyone know if the R9 270 would tax my CX600m?

no problem

 

the 270X can run on a 500 watt PSU

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
