Looking for a GPU

Trying to find a GPU, under $250. The cheaper the better. I do not know much about GPUs, so I don't really know what to look for. Looking to see what people have to say. Going to be playing games, not anything too demanding, and possibly some video, and graphic editing. This is where I am now, I want to get something cheaper than the current GPU i have selected

R9-390 for, like, 30 USD above your budget.

 

R9-380 to stay way under budget.

 

380X to be the best of both worlds.

Better computer for less.

 

The R9 390 is a good choice but over budget.
The R9 290 is about $250

The R9 280x around $220

The R9 285 or 380 4GB is around $170-$200
