you can look at these two
GTX 640
Or the
GTX 650TI Boost
you will benfit more from the gtx 650ti boost because it has more cuda cores but the gtx 640 is also a good choice for the 100$ price range you are looking for

For a $100 price point you can consider Rageon HD 7790 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

If you can spend a little more then get Radeon HD 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Personally I would wait on the GPU until you can save some more maybe $200-250 and then get a GPU. Really for gaming you do not really get much for $100 that is going to be a real upgrade from where you are.

You got a really good PSU with the Corsair TX650 why not get a GPU that can take advantage of it. I think you would be happier with the upgrade if you where able to get a GPU that would enough of a performance upgrade over the one you have to make it worth it.
