Hi forum,i am currently looking after GPU(s) for a second build. 
This will be an extra pc, just for the fun of building it.  (maybe doing profit by selling it)

Tho its a budget build, i will be going with intel. (my primary PC has  intel, and i wish to be able to switch out/ use it as testbench. 
It needs to be able to play BF4, and having good fps in CS:GO/LoL. 
I once had a Radeon R7 200 series which was good, is there a card with similar use in the budget side of nvidia? 
(i heard that the 750 is good.) As it is a second pc, i am planing on buying it used. There is many GTX 650-750 on the market, but the 750's are pretty overpriced. (in general, all used parts are overpriced here in Denmark.) 
What GPU should i go with at least? I got a old pc with an intel cpu laying around, thinking about salvaging that cpu if thats possible? 
Might going to be using that motherboard until i get a new one. Also, just so i wont be wasting money: what compatibility should i be checking? I know that i need the motherboard to support the cpu socket, but is there others?
What about 6-pin connecters, and 8-pin connectors? :)

Thanks for all the help!

750 is meh, 750ti is the best budget GPU of its generation. Nvidia best GPUs have often been the "Ti" cards (650ti boost, 980ti).

 

On AMD side there would be r7 260x or 270 for low budget, and their best price to performance ratio ATM is 380.

 

260x is pretty cheap even brand new. 

 

Make sure your PSU can provide 400w-500w of power.

The recommended gpu for bf4 is a 660/750, or a 7870/270x

 

If the card needs pcie power cables then the psu needs to have a cable for it.

Is the 750 still worth getting? The 750 is pretty expensive and rare to find used. (in Denmark)


Is it possible to go with a 670 or so? :)

Sorry about that the stuff Gpus I posted above are the recommended gpus.

 

a 670 should perform the same as a 760, or a 950 so it should be decent.

670 outperforms 750 significantly.

I'm going to buy an EVGA GTX 750 TI FTW for 75 USD tomorrow, as far as i see it, it's a great card and a good price.
Is it a good choice? It got an ACX cooler, and 2GB vram. Benchmarks says its the best 750TI. :)

New price for it is around 200 USD, and they are all listed used for around 110 USD, but got him down to 75 USD as i could pick it up tomorrow. :)

If you can stretch a little extra, consider a GTX 950. In general, they cost little more than a 750Ti (+/- $20USD) and offer notably better performance.
