You can get an R9 380 / GTX 960 for around that price. If you go to EVGA B-Stock you can get a GTX 960 for $160 right now.

I was able to get an openbox r9 380X for $180 with a rebate bringing it to $160 from microcenter. Try finding something similar, used or openbox.

For brand new: 380 or 380X, whichever one is under $200 because it is faster than the 960.

Second hand: Various options, really. I mean, I just bought a 390X second hand for $200. Granted, it may have been used in bitcoin mining for all I know, but as of now... I'm sort of crossing my fingers it could atleast last a year. But strangely enough, stuff I bought that are second hand are strangely reliable and work as intended. Though, I'll always say that you'd never really know what you're truly getting when it comes to second hand, but IMHO its worth the gamble.
