I've decided to downscale to a Mini ITX build within a Fractal Node 304, but my current GPU (XFX R9 Fury Triple Dissipation' won't fit. I'm not really wanting to spend too much; so, can anyone recommend a card (probably on the used market) for up to £250. I'm happy with my current performance, so if I can save money on an older generation and spend less, then I'm happy to hear recommendations.

At the moment I think the 1070 Ti seems like a good option, but is there something cheaper that is "good enough" for my needs?
 
The world's your oyster. Very few cards won't fit into a Node 304 & as for performance anything 580 & up is basically an upgrade. Vega 56 is an obvious choice right now, brand new, @ £230-260. On the used market it depends on what you can find, 1070/1070ti/1080/Vega56 or 64 all good candidates, but you could also go for something like an rx 580/90 which I imagine would be very cheap.

 
I have just bought a Silverstone ITX case https://www.overclockers.co.uk/silv...itx-htpc-case-black-sst-rvz03b-ca-43x-sv.html
and a ITX B450 (flashed for free by the supplier) to house a Ryzen 3600.

I was going to put my Sapphire nitro r9 fury tri-x in there as that will be spare soon when my son goes to uni.

However a day or two ago I saw a RX570 for £99 at OcUK! and bought that instead. perhaps a Rx570 is powerful enough for you and its a great price - the Asrock for £99 only need a 6 pin but is now out of stock, so you may have to settle with a 8 pin strix for £109.
