Hi, I need a graphics card for my old computer.

specs:
corsair vx550w (PSU)
asus p5k-e (mothrboard)
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 6core ~3.2ghz (CPU)
1080p samsung monitor

I used to have a NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS in there, but it has some overheating problems and broke. I'm looking for something around ~100 dollars that works.

prefer NVIDIA over AMD, but if AMD is cheaper, that's all right.
Thanks!

I won't be doing a lot of gaming, mostly as a browsing computer etc. However, I want around 30FPS on games with medium/low settings.

Not sure if it makes a big diff., but with the two AMD cards people generally recommend Sapphire 1st. Radeon is AMD

With Nvidia, people seem to favor EVGA for their top notch customer service as well as the quality of their cards.



The hd7750 is much stronger than a gt640

In fact there are a couple 7770's under $100 now.

So far I looked around, and I have a couple options.

-NVIDIA GTX 650
-HD7750
-HD7770

I also apparently have a few options for versions
like
EVGA for nVIDIA

sapphire, amd, and MSI for radeon
which ones are better?
