Hi everyone :)
I am currently looking to get a new graphics card.

This is my current build the now



CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: r9 280x-3gb
Case: Thermaltake Versa H22 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: XFX TS 650W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply

I play mostly runescape NXT and would like high/ultra settings and smooth gameplay.

I also would like to play some overwatch and bf1.

Some people have suggested a 470/480/1060 and I can get a 980 for around £220.

Any help appreciated :)
 
480 for your current setup probably, just because cheap-ish and will be decent enough for a while even if you upgrade other parts of your build, doesn't seem worth going down to a 470 because of the small price difference.

980 is obviously good and for 220, its not a lot more so why not? I guess I would do this if you have the money to spare, I'd say this was the best card myself but it will probably create a bottleneck for the rest of your system?

Not really an expert but those are my thoughts, hopefully someone will come along that has more experience with your system setup.
