what is the best budget gpu(~$20-50) that i can buy from ebay to upgrade my firepro v3900. used for light gaming. I dont care if its Nvidia or AMD, just best performance per dollar. the system i am upgrading has a 400 watt very old psu, and a i7-4770(so cant be a gpu with high tdp)

Thanks

With luck you could get a 750 ti for that. Which will play your light esports stuff like Valorant and Rocket League and that's about it. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

looking through a quick ebay search, I'd be looking at in order: GTX950, GTX770 and 750TI around the $40-50 range. There were some 680's but I'd lean towards the 950 for better driver support.

The best gaming PC is the PC you like to game on, how you like to game on it

I have no idea what Arsenal is (nice job making your game un-Google-able, whoever, it's impossible to sift through all the soccer-related results), but Galaxy Control looks like it would run on your CPU's integrated graphics alone.

thanks, i looked at some gtx 480s, however the 480 is kinda old. I will be looking at your suggestions.

yeah, galaxy control runs decent on integrated graphics, but my cpu doesnt have them. My current gpu(firepro v3900) is much worse than most integrated graphics. 

By the way, heres arsenal: https://www.roblox.com/games/286090429/Arsenal

An i7-4770 does have integrated graphics.
