Your options from Nvidia with $300 to spend are either the GTX 970 at $330 or more, or the GTX 960 at around $200. There's no current-generation card in between, unless you find a used GTX 770 or something. But even then, a 770 isn't much faster than a 960. AMD gets much closer to your budget.

Hi guys i currently dont know what gpu to get. I would like to have a nvidia gpu for my new build any suggetions?

Budget is : 300usd

Current System Specs:

i5-4460

Msi H97 Gaming 3

2x4Gb HyperX Fury

1TB Hdd

Thanks guys! 

 

Well most 2nd tier 970s are around that price. Browsing through pcpp, the card that stands out the most would be this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr9290x4gbd5ppdhv2e

 

if you're hard pressed on Nvidia, then the cheapest 970 will be this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-turbogtx970oc4gd5

Why does it have to be nvidia? If you don't really use any of the Nvidia features, you should look into the r9 390s cause you know... why not?

 

Edit: Oh. Okay. Then I'd go with the 970
