Top 3 GPU's under $250 (REAL PRICE)

 3. EVGA GeForce GTX 1060

For just over $200 this is a very capable card. It can play 'all' games at 60fps on a 1080p mode (also great for 1440p). It comes from a reputable seller and Gigabyte are known for their supreme ultra durable build quality.

2.EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

No I'm not sponsored by EVGA but they do make good Graphics cards. This is the beast in the buget world. It has a sweet spot performance that seems to be perfect for most games. This is is cheapest on the list at under $150

1. MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

 This card can often be picked up for $250 on a good deal. This is similar to the third ranked card but it has an extra 2 GB of VRAM. This GDDR5 memory is high speed and will lead to better performance in games where textures are important. This also makes the card a better option for 1440p and 4k gaming as more memory is required.

 AMD...

Yes. Sadly AMD do not feature on this countdown. I currently believe they do not offer a card in this price range that competes with any Nvidia option. Sorry fanboys!
