If you are working with a budget of £180 or less there has never been a better time to buy a graphics card. The Gigabyte R9 270X Windforce OC that we are looking at today for instance is supplied in a preoverclocked state, with a custom cooler and has a retail price of only £164.99 inc vat (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-123-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1982) . Is this the graphics card you need for a new cost effective system build in 2014?
