So I'm on a tight budget and I'd like to not have to rely on my onboard Radeon 3000 graphics in my ASUS motherboard.(Fairly new build) I was wondering if the Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 2GB Video Card would work for Star Trek online or Starwars the old republic on my display(max is 1600x900). What can I expect out of this card in this situation?

How low is your budget? I personally would go no lower than a 7750, which you can get for $90. Also the 1GB version will be enough. By the time you have settings high enough to use 2gb of VRAM a card that low end will be overloaded and the game will be unplayable. The 6670 will work but don't expect to max out the games.
Here, take a look at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131481

You will be fine. As long as the mobo has a PCI-Express slot it will work. That card is low-power enough that it shouldn't even need external power from your PSU.
Edit: Looking at your motherboard it does indeed have a PCI-E slot. The long, dark blue slot is PCI-E.

best options within 100$
A radeon hd 7770 if you have a decent 450watts psu (which i doubt) an hd 7750 if you have a weak psu.
Well without knowing that much about your psu ,my recommendation still would be an hd 7750 .go with this card . Believe me its the best card today which draws all of its power from motherboard (via pcie slot). And you'll get around 50 PERCENT much better performance from the hd 6670 if you buy this card. Its the best in its category
