Should I try to get a 900 line graphics card?

[IDontKnowLiterallyAnything]

Budget basically nothing 

Country: 'Murica

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: PUBG, schoolwork, web browsing, Rainbow Six Siege, TABG, Left 4 Dead, CSGO, and some retro games and emulators. 

Other details I have it paired with a Core i5 VPro and 8gb of RAM

I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by "900 line graphics card".

Also, aren't vPro chips laptop only?

GTX 970 and 980 would be pretty satisfactory at 1080p imo

checking with ebay, the r9 290 starts at $150 compared to $210, so i'd look for one of the hawaii GPUs instead unless you can find the 970/980 for cheaper.

Can you clarify which GPUs you're looking at? Also, which CPU do you have? vPro doesn't tell us anything.

No, not at all.

nope. i did some research and they were usually aimed at professionals, and they are less common because of that. i havent booted up that machine in a couple weeks, and i just got a second hand quadro 4000 and fx 3800. o\so i might just use the 4000 or if i have some money later down the line i might get a 970 ir 980 as a lot of people here suggest.
