Im looking to build my dad a new computer since he has a 7 year old dell PC and its starting to really show its age. I was looking GPU's and cant decide what one I should get. He doesn't need anything to powerful. He just uses his PC for Email, video and documents mostly.

Get an APU or use iGPU.

No need for a dedicated GPU for a FB machine

As for only a gpu for video, email, and small tasks of the like; you could easily get away with a 740, 350, or either of those low-ended cards.
