I am planning on buying this over clocked bundle: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-000-OG
(i5 4670K, Kingston Hyper X 8GB, Prolimatec 48 Basic 92mm and Asus Z97-K ATX Motherboard )
and I'm wondering what would be a good graphics card(and why?) to go with the build if i was aiming for the whole build to cost around £600-£700. I play mobas and games like DayZ, Garry's mod and would like to be able to play Borderlands 2.
Thanks for your help
 
In terms of value and great performance, then a R9 280/x, or when they on sale, for a couple of quid more you can get a 290.

That'll suit your build lovely, plus if your not a 1080 gamer (i.e 1440p) either card should comfortably run the games you mentioned on high/ultra with at least 60fps+ (Excluding DayZ for obvious reasons)

Since you still have parts to get for that bundle then a 280x is a great shout for a £700ish build.

If you can grab a 290 when they are on sale that would be a nice addition to that bundle.

I was looking and there are multiple R9 290s, which one would you recommend (preferably with a link)
