Looking at what I can get for $200 but no more than $250. Hopefully good enough to play fallout 4 when it comes out.

Current specs are
Intel I5-4670
16GB Ram
Asus H87-pro - PCI 3.0
Antec HCG-520

if you can stretch a little more get a gtx 960, if you cant, look out for a gtx950, theyre new, so more version will become available soon that are cheaper, but a gtx 960 would be the recommended mid level card.

I'd say the AMD R9 270 is the best you can get for less that $250.

750ti/270 which is in your budget, at $275 there is the 270x and if you are willing to spend ~$350 the next step up would be the 960
