R9 Fury Nitro is the best for that price, depending on what country you live in.

 

Otherwise it would be the 1060/480. Or a used 980 TI (rare for less than $300).

If you have a seriously good 500 watt psu (this is cutting it pretty close), a good 550 watt psu, a decent 600 watt psu, or better go with an r9 fury... if this deal is available where you live:

Also make sure this card fits in your case, it may be a close call.

no more recommendations??

 

You asked what GPU, you have been told the best one for your money at under $300. Obviously there is a whole tonne below $300

 

1050 < 1050ti < AMD 470 < 970  < 1060 3gb < 980 < 1060 6gb ~ 480 4gb/8gb < Fury < Fury X > 980ti

 

you will be very lucky to find a Fury X or 980ti for under $300

New card : RX 480 4GB is the best in terms of price/perf and often around 200$. Stay away from the GTX 1060 3GB though, it's usually a terrible bargain, and 3GB of VRAM is short for 1080p.

Used card : Fury X or 980 Ti for around 300$ would be awesome but like other said, pretty rare at that price
