integrated GPU or an APU is the way to go.

 

or get like $50 more and buy a used GTX 750ti

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

Integrated graphics will probably be better than a $20 GPU, unless you manage to hit the f**king jackpot on eBay or something.

I suppose I should give a little clarification

 

This is for an older computer I'm throwing together for someone, the motherboard has no iGPU capabilities and the processor is a Q9650 

 

The man just needs a gpu for day to day, and the occasional minecraft game I suppose

 

But I'm trying to keep it extremely cheap haha

 

Thanks for the help so far though

I'm doing basically the same thing, I just got a b-stock 750 Ti from EVGA for $95 (not $20 though).

Personally I have no clue about what to get for $20...

So thanks for reading guys, if this post sucked, I'm not sure what you can do, but if you liked it, go 'head and hit that like button, or maybe add me as a friend. Otherwise, go subscribe to LinusTechTips on YouTube, follow them on Twitch, follow @LinusTech on Twitter, and support them by using their affiliate code on Amazon, buying a cool T-shirt, or supporting them directly on this community forum.

Radeon HD5850! They're really cheap and you can get one for $25 used on Ebay if you're lucky...

 

I think I just got a 6850 for $24 

 

Thank you for the suggestion @Mo5

Like I said I don't have that option, hopefully thought this 6850 happens :D
