I thought I would post my PC component's here for anyone who is interested in joining pc gaming on a mid range budget.
Game Benchmark's I have run with my PC.
Middle earth: Shadow of Mordor
Resolution 1920 x 1080p ( FPS Average 54 everything on high except texture's )
The Elder Scroll's V Skyrm
Resolution 1920 x 1080p ( FPS Average 52 - 61 everything on Ultra )
Battlefield 4
Resolution 1920 x 1080p ( FPS Average 45 - 59 everything on High )
PC Specification's as follows.
1 . CPU / Proccessor = Pentium G 3258 'K' ( Can overclock up to 4.7 GHz )
2 . Mobo / Motherboard = MSI B85M Gaming edition ( Uses 'OC' Genie 4 ) allows Overclocking
3 . Ram = 8 GB Kinston Hyper X GDDR3 1600 MHz ( Also Overclock-able )
4 GPU / Graphic's Card = Gigabyte Tri-Force OC' R9 270x 2GB GDDR5 Vram ( Comes factory Overclocked )
5 . HDD / Hard drive = Western Digital 1 Tb/ Tera Byte 7,200 RPM
6 . Case = Cooler Master N200 ( Micro ATX case that can fit Graphic's cards up to 13 inches's )
7 . PSU / Power Supply = X-Strike Aero Cool 500 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified
This whole pc set up cost me under 700 $ I will post a link underneath for PC Par Picker hope this helped some of you.

Your correct of course.
Now though most up and coming game's will require a higher end card if you want a stable 50 plus FPS at 1080p
but the 265 is a very decent card I personally would opt for a gtx 750 ti.
The nice thing though is that you can crossfire the 265 model's saving you money down the line and future proofing
your pc thus being able to play up and coming game's.
The best bang for your buck at the moment I would say is either a GTX 760 or a R9 270x either will
be able to perform well for the next year maybe a bit beyond into 2016.
Then again you have to really rely on developer's as to how well the game will be optimized for pc which will
bring your pc's specifications to comparison.

Only place a 750ti is good is the power ratings making it good for putting in a prebuilt or extremely low power PC and I used the 265 just as a example I'd actually well someone to spend the extra $50 and go with a 280 on sale since newer ports like a lot of vram so 3gb would be beneficial
The following user thanked Toke for this useful post:

Yes again your right as rain, although in benchmark's the 750 Ti out paces the 265.
The R9 280 is a great card and does offer you 3GB of GDDR5 Vram the extra Gigabyte of Vram will future proof
you pc rig.
Then again only very taxing game's will require more than 2 gb's of Vra, I overclocked my R9 270x and it's outperforming
a stock R9 280 in benchmarks for 3d studio firemark and most games.
Look at watchdog's as an example that game was so poorly optimized for pc that even a GTX Titan Black Edition had issues
with running it at stable FPS.

Its a ubisoft game that's why its horse shit I just mentioned the 280 because more more games are gram heavy so actually if you could find a 4gb 270x that would awesome just as a 6gb 780 was especially if your into rpg games with mods the vram helps a shit ton
