I am planning on upgrading my graphics card but im not sure what to get. I'm willing to pay about 250 pounds.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Your existing build would help.

Assuming you have no serious bottleneck/sufficient power and can house either of these, both are fine.

The card you listed is indeed better, but I'd much sooner have scan as my medium

If memory serves me, that card used to/may still be similarly priced on scan.

Closer to budget, better power efficiency and more powerful than 290X's what more could you want. Take your pick: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

Get the 970 it wipes the floor for its price currently.

Either the msi gaming edition or the asus strix

Whichever, probably best to have one without the reference design though

No, you'll be fine. Personally, I'd go with the MSI TF 970 but any of them should be fine.
