If needed it can be 200$-300$nzd

In that case this is pretty good http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Version-PCI-Express-Graphics-11227-00-40G/dp/B00HJOXUKC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1416814820&sr=8-3&keywords=r9+290

Seconded, this card is amazingly strong for the money and it's the second best cooler too (THe best being the Sapphire Vapor-X)

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

As far as I know Amazon doesn't ship electronics to New Zealand? And a 290 in New Zealand is 450nzd.

 

@XajatomblastX do you plan on buying them in New Zealand or internationally? If in NZ, what site do you use?

Also checking the classifieds here there's a $200 r9 290, which is a steal.

Atom14 [Corsair] i5-4690K | Corsair H110i GT | MSI Z97S SLI Krait | 16 GB Team Group DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB X2 | EVGA SuperNOVA 850W 80+ Gold | Corsair K95 RGB | Corsair M65 RGB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 980Ti

for that price range in NZ you can get an ASUS R9 270X or an Nvidia 660 in case you didn't know there's a pretty decent site for NZ called pricespy (pricespy.co.nz)

I tried to have a look around Newegg shopping as a Kiwi, it said a lot of cards weren't available for NZ. 

 

Judging by prices though, if you can pick up a 760 in your price range off them go for it.
