Hi there, I am looking forward to buying a graphcis card under $100. I am using a 1920x1080 resolution and I want to get at least 40 fps on medium-high settings. The games I play are: Payday2, Bad Company 2, League of Legends, and CS:GO. My computer specs are: i5-3570, 8gb ram, asus h61m-a motherboard, corsair cx600m. Thanks!

You are pretty much stuck with a R7-250x or a GTX 750

Is the 260x worth the extra $30-40 ?

if you can spend a bit more money, a r7 260x would be good because you would get better graphics. But since you say you only play those games then a r7 250x or a gtx 750 would be enough.

Over the 250x? Yeah probably. But for that much I would get a 750 Ti.

Absolutely, look at this video:

Haha, yeah I was planning on getting a r7 240 or a gt 640 for like $60 until I stumbled upon that video which raised my budget up to $100.

yea that GPU is like the R7 250X

 

if you are lucky you can find the HD7770 or HD7790

 

the price will be hovering at 100+

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
