GPU Choosing help

When I was a freshman(now a junior), I planned to build a gaming pc but alas life happens and I lost my wallet and I had to do drivers ed. Well I built that PC but I didn't get a new graphics card, I had to use the one from my 80$ USD salvage build. I'm planning to buy a decent 4GB graphics card under $250 USD (or $275 USD). I lean toward Nvidia cause of the past I had with their GPUs.

 

TL;DR It's hard for me to get money cause I'm in school and I need help choosing out a GPU cause of how indecisive I am.

 

I've already made a list of graphics cards i can get locally here, any suggestions will be helpful.

Hey mang, I build Computers and I draw stuff.

Why not get a 290 over a 380

 

literally don't understand why poeple don't do this, you're paying more money for worse performance

Don't get Nvidia if you are on a budget, please mate just don't, just don't....

 

You are throwing away FPS, AMD delivers MUCH better price to performance ratios than Nvidia.
