What cheap GPU would you suggest for this?

trainergames

Ok my sister and her oldest have told me their pc's are on their last legs.

 

i am trying to spec out cheap new builds to show them,but not sure what to get GPU wise,because the CPU i picked does not have onboard.

 

The most GPU intensive game that they want to play is The Sims 4,other than that they will just be web surfing.

 

What would you suggest?

i am trying to keep the entire system as cheap as possible,due to them needing 2,at first i was trying to see if i could pull off a $300 budget(for each pc),but may have to raise it to $350 each.

Because with the parts i had picked it was $264 before a GPU.

I don't have any parts yet,i am just using pcpartpicker to come up with the build. i was using going to use a amd 860k,but from @Megah3rtz suggestion i am looking online to see if the onboard from an i3 6100 will be good enough.

ok, but that's why I said "if buying brand new". because some people don't like buying used.
