ok so yes this is not a high end build i was trying to put something together cheaply that would run well and this is the best ive been able to come up with I already had several very nice full atx custom cases so i didnt need one.

Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 Socket AM3 50$

AMD Phenom II x3 720 BE 2.8GHz Socket AM3 6MB 56$

8gb DDR3 1600 15$

Zumax ZU550W (X3) 550W MAX ATX Power Supply w/ Turbo Fan Switch 24.29

western digital black 1tb 41$

samsung 840 128gb ssd 70$

Now i just need a video card I have been looking at a few options but wondered if anyone had any suggestions on an older video card that would be suited to this build the budget for video card is low however chances are i can find it on ebay eventually for cheap so please no crazy ideas i CANNOT spend 200 dollars on a video card the whole build cost about that.

I was considering these
ASUS (ENGTX460 TOP/2DI/768) Nvidia GTX 460 GDDR5 SDRAM Graphics adapter 60$

HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870 (H487F512P) 512 MB GDDR5 SDRAM 50$

HIS HD 5670 IceQ 1GB gddr5 55$
So far these are the only ones ive found in my price range less than 60$ if anyone has any other suggestions that would be greatly appreciated however just a suggestion on which would be appreciated as well thanks

found this to EVGA GTX 550ti 1GB P/N 01G-P3-1556-KR. Works, has some coil hiss. $50 shipped.

had to switch out the power supply because the 460 uses 2 pcie power connectors and well this was a better brand
Antec earthwatts EA500 500W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.2 80 PLUS Certified 27$ good price to lol
