Best card for sub £400?

[coupe69]

Need a GPU for a new gaming PC for one of the kids. Budget has to come in under £400. What's best bang for buck at this price range? After a little research I'm thinking 7700XT is the option to go for, but happy to be proved wrong. Monitor is a 34" ultra widescreen, so 3440x1440 resolution.

I managed to pick up a new 7700 XT a little while ago for £300. It might be worth just holding off given it seems like announcements are due very shortly for new cards though.

Can't seem to find anything near £300 now, most are closer to, or exceed the £400 mark!

Rx6800 has been less than your budget for a while, slim pickings though.

From the benchmarks I've seen the 7700XT seems to perform better than the 6800 non XT card.

The 7800xt for £420 is the one to go for imo but if £300 is your preference then the 6750xt is an option.

I can't seem to find the 7800XT for £420? £439 is the cheapest, my Google Fu is letting me down... £400 is really the high end of the budget though.

EDIT: Never mind I've found it, perhaps I'll just stump up the extra and go for that. Would a Corsair RM650 PSU be good enough for the 7800XT?

Does it need to be new? Have you considered a used GPU? Or b-grade from this site?

I ended up going for the Gigabyte OC 7800XT for £420. Very happy with it so far, or at least my son is!
