$150 was only for his, CPU, Mobo, Ram, and cpu coolers... Case too if you simply don't get a case... for graphics card, 290xs can be found on ebay for $180-220... 7970s and 680s can be a bit cheaper, and 580s and 6970s even cheaper than that so on and so on... I've found in the used market it's usually not much cheaper to get anything other than the high end... like 580 for $100 is better than 570 for $80 and so on... but still worth goolging for those cards too

Im looking into buying some of the parts that Linus used in his $150 gaming computer build and i was wondering if anyone knew of any deals or cheap graphics cards online that i can buy that are good quality.

Look into the used market for graphics cards, you camn find some really great deals. Check your local craigslist or ebay.

You can try scooping up some old GPU's but none of them will be good enough to play games in (anything but) the near future.

Radeon 7950

GTX 760

R7 260X

HD 7870

The problem with all of these is the lack of the guarantee of being working and not coming from a reputable, accountable company.

If you dont get some super Deals or presents from Friends, you will not be able to build a decent rig for 150$.
