Hi, I have an Acer Aspire E360, that I have been "Upgrading". I put a new 550 Watt PSU and a "New" AMD Athlon 64 X2 2Ghz CPU and i want to add a "Decent" Graphics Card so i can use Photoshop and other software,

What would be a good one for around $50 - $100
do you think i can get one used? and were should i look? and what should i look for?

my Specs are:

Windows 7 SP1 32bit
4 GB DDR RAM
PCI Express Slot type: x1 / x16
PCI Slot type: 2 PCI 2.3 5V slots
 
Unless you are doing 3D rending or a lot of advanced filters (there are only 3-4 of the built in filters that utilize GPU), I would recommend putting money into RAM - going with 8GB or 16GB would be a big boost from 4GB. Unfortunately, that would require you to upgrade the motherboard.
