What would be a good card for light gaming gta v, division etc at 1080p on low to medium settings in the region of £100 and should I look into used for the best bang for the buck?

Will be going in a i3 skylake build which has 8gb ram and ssd storage
 
You probably gonna have to shop around, but have seen the AMD 380 at around £120 recently, and it is faster than Nvidia's GTX960.

That's really good, but I've never seen anything like that... though there was that one daily deal last year where Overclockers UK were selling R9 285s for about £80, so perhaps that deal on the 380 does exist somewhere...

I'd advise OP to perhaps wait for the new cards in the hopes that it brings down prices of existing cards or perhaps even a better new card at their budget. Though more likely the former. Then it's more likely they'll be able to buy a R9 380 for around £100. Do keep in mind the power consumption, make sure you have at least a 500W PSU. If power consumption is an issue, then you might consider the GTX 960, (the 950 really isn't worth it) but otherwise the R9 380 is the best bet in the £100-£200 range if one can find it at a good price.

Look for used cards, you might find something much more powerful in there, I think even OCUK often sell some refurbished cards with decent warranties.

Best case scenario, Gibbo reads this thread and leaves a ;) , in which case look out for the daily deals on the front page of the OCUK store.
 
It's a build for my brother and my nephew it's my brothers birthday start of may so need it done by then. The rest of the pc is done and has a 750w cooler Master psu.
