Hello!

 

I'm looking for a super budget gpu for 60$, I want to use it for some light gaming (Minecraft, Terraria, CS:GO and maybe Overwatch at low-mid settings) and for a upgrade.

I currently have a AMD Radeon HD7540D iGpu.

If you have something better for a little more money, feel free to recommend it!

$60 is probably a little too steep for what you're looking for. You can get a 2GB 750Ti for around $68 on Amazon, or a 1GB 750Ti for around $50...but I'd recommend against the 1GB model, even for Minecraft and Overwatch.

2Gb OC'd 660 GTX maybe? Dunno how it stacks up

Maybe if you can find one reasonably priced on Craigslist. But I haven't found any Amazon or Ebay listings for the GTX 660 under $99.

Forgot to add that option, Thing is we dont know the OP's PSU and hence why I am recommending a GT 1030 as well :P
