Hi guys I have £350 to spend on a new GFX card, which of 290s on this site do you think is the best? Sapphire, Asus or MSI? Thanks in advance
 
They are all the same.

The sapphire on special offer at 299 and only 6 left is best deal as it includes BF4 and two other games as well, but they will be sold out soon.

How much are the games worth if sold here on the MM?

No idea, but BF4 is a £35-£40 game new, and with AMD silver you can get latest Thief game I believe which is also like £30, so for the pair maybe £25-30 on mm, making the card around £270 :)
 
Sapphire card right now is a no brainer, almost as fast as a 290x, £300, if you sold the games your looking as Gibbo says at minimum getting £30 off the card price. Sorry but no other card on the market comes close to that deal, not pound for pound the sheer amount of power you get for your money. period.
 
Okay thanks a lot for the replies, i'll try pick one up as soon as possible then. I have heard the cards run pretty loud and use a lot of power, do you think my 550w PSU could handle it?

550w Corsair will be fine. The max tdp drawn would be 300w (most figures are from the wall so the actual figure drawn by the psu will likely be 85% of that) and the rest of your components will pull max 150w.
