Most basic GPU for UnRAID console

Hey,

 

I'm building my first PC and was planing on running UnRAID, virtualising Win 10 and running some servers off of UnRAID.

I thought I could use the iGPU for the UnRAID console output. Silly me didn't realise that there is no iGPU on X299 CPUs and so there is none on my 7800X.

 

Now I need a really really basic GPU (preferably with HDMI output) but I don't know which to buy. I was looking into the Nvidia GT 1030, just 'cause of fancy pascal architecture and stuff, but it really has more rendering power than I need. 

Can you recommend something cheap but functional?

 

Thx in advance!

gt 610/710 or gt 730 if you're feeling ballsy EDIT: but why not have more power so you can game/do work on your $400 cpu if you want? 

I might not know what I'm talking about but I'm gonna say it anyways

 

Try using the PSU Tier List!

Visit whatever webshop you prefer to buy from, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing you can find with an HDMI port.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

If you really just need an HDMI display output a gtx 210 or r5 230 are still available refurbed for under $30.  Otherwise the above mentioned 710 is new for a bout 35.
