Best Cheap Budget Graphics Cards?

[kungpaogao]

Hey guys! I'm new into these desktop shenanigans. I don't know, but I may be making a budget computer in the near future and I was looking for some cheap graphics cards.

 

I am looking for graphics cards that are at most $130 USD (I would prefer the price to be closer to $100, if possible).

 

I did some quick research, but I have no point of references and my knowledge on this stuff is not very enhanced. This is what I found:

I also found another post with a similar topic, but I don't know if there are better options.

 

From this research, the recommended ones are:

- Radeon R7 260x --> probs best choice here

- Radeon HD 7770 (or GHz edition?)

 

Anything else that I should consider? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the recommendation, but even with the 15% off promo code, it will still be ~$145 USD or so. I am hoping for a little cheaper (I changed the budget from 150 to 130 in the OP, just for the future repliers).

Alright, thanks for the reply!

 

Also, is there a specific version of the 260X that I should purchase, if I do?

260x is fine with any version Sapphire usually has a nice cooler; but on that low end of a card not like there's a Lightning option or like there's enough heat to really need it...
