So I'm planning on selling my r9 390 and then using some of the money from it towards a ryzen upgrade and then saving until I have enough for a nice gpu like a 1080 or something. But the issue is ryzen doesn't have an igpu... So what's a cheap gpu to use, I'm fine with only being able to play csgo for 1-3 months but what's a good, really cheap gpu that can run csgo at preferably 1080p mid settings but I can deal with mid 720 or low 1080.

I was thinking 750ti but I really didn't wanna spend 60+ dollars... 750? Also if there are any cards from older gens I'd be interested. And I forgot about the E7 360
