Hi.

I am currently planning to upgrade my dad's old server, i need gpu recommendations for 20-30$ (i know my budget is very low, but i need it for school and I'm quite broke), I'm choosing between the hd 8490 and the gts 250, but if anyone got other recommendations it is gladly appreciated, thank you.

And sorry for the bad english because it isn't my first language.

I'm planning a xeon e5450, it's a pretty good deal at 20$, i know there's some other cpus at that price that have integrated graphics, but I'm planning to do some light games like LoL and other similar games
