A good ole GT 730 GDDR5 (not the DDR3 those are terrible).

 

It's about on par with the Intel HD Graphics 530 from the latest generation of CPUs, which is actually pretty alright.

 

Or an R7 250 if you can find one for little

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

I would look around on sites like Craigslist, ebay and other local sites that would be listing computer hardware for a good price, also it's good to check auctions on ebay as you can find good cards on there for a great price.

 

Also for the person who shared this video, props to you! i love this youtube channel

If you are going to buy a GPU on Ebay, make sure to ask how they are shipping the item to you (shipping damage), if you need something extremelly basic, u could have a look at some gtx 660´s or 660 ti, which should be better than the integrated gpu, from what i know.

Why are people reccomending 660Tis for a wizard101 temp pc? 

 

I would reccomend a GT 710 or something like a used 740 max. No point in spending more for wizard101.

The R5 340 would be the best bet, it is quite a bit faster than the 7570. I'm not sure about the FirePro card though.

How is this I confirmed it is gddr5

The 340's are all GDDR5, that would be a good card for what you need;
