Hey guys,

I have so many people throwing different GPU's at me for my build. I'm not a hardcore gamer and nor do I intend to play many games in the future except for "CSGO" which i might play casually here and there for fun. I need to find a GPU that will run the game fine but be under $100-110ish.

Originally I was going for a GeForce GTX 650 TI, but then realized I don't need to spend all that as I'm not even going to be gaming a lot...

Current Build:
I5 3570 (Non-K)
8 GB RAM
1TB HD
DVD ROM
PSU 600W
P8Z77-V LK Motherboard

All I'm missing is a decent GPU.. like I said my main focus is more towards music production, butwould still like to have a decent GPU where if i decided to play game rather than worry about my GPU not supporting it. Some of the other options I have come across are the following:

GeForce GT 640 2GB $110
GeForce GTX 650 1GB $100
GeForce GTX 560 TI 1GB
GeForce GTX 650 TI 1GB $150
GeForce GTX 280 1GB
AMD HD7750 1GB

Most likely the "650 TI/560 TI" will be cut out of the list since they are $140-150.

If there are any other options please provide them.

** ALSO @ NCIX, the employee had told me to get the following:

MSI Radeon HD 6450 2GB for $45 (I don't know if that will run CSGO or not, but the price looks good!)

Please help me out experts! Thank you :)

id automatically eliminate the 640, and 650ti/560ti due to price limit. id cross out 280 due to lacking support for dx11 games if you ever wanted to play them. do not buy the 6450, your HD 4000 is almost the same level.

if your goal is ~100-110$, for new gpus, your choices are lmited to 7750, gtx 650, and 550ti.

if you can push slightly past 110, id recommend an hd 7770(can find as low as 120$)
