Considering that, I'd say 750 Ti or R9 270.

I,d go with the r9 270 and oc it to the r9 270x standards or even more.great performance for its value.

I don't think you can fit a 280 in your budget right?

About your res. What you wrote makes no sense at all.

Right, so i brought a TV thinking "Woo going to have a nice monitor!". Because it's a TV Not an actual PC monitor, using a HDMI cable. It looks disgusting , all the writing is hard to read ect, So i scaled it down the 1600x900 and it looks a lot better

You can get an XFX R9 280 for 150 quid from scan, or you can buy a MSI gaming 280 for 14 quid more, i suggest you get the msi card, the cooler on there is great.

I can't quote because windows phone is buggy here.

That being said,if you can find the msi 280 for only 14 pounds more,get it hands down.

I've gamed on tv in the past.but I can't believe that running it on lower than the native res is crispier than the native res or something. That defies the laws of monitors :P

AMD R9 270X is the best card for that price. If you can stretch it to about £170, you can get a GTX 760 or R9 280.

R9 270X if you want to stay on the lower side, but if you want to use pretty much all of your budget get an R9 280.
