A used GTX 980 might be a good option, provided your PSU can handle it.

Okay, I was looking at those. Any options beneath $200? I don't want to spend loads.

A used 980 should never cost you more than $200.

Where do you recommend looking for a used 980? eBay and Amazon are all above $200.

Craigslist.

If you can't find a used 980, a used 970 should be fine too. Really similar cards with the 970 only being about 20% slower than the 980.
