Hi, I recently purchased a new (used) computer off Craiglist for $120 - Win7, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gig of Ram, Adobe CS6 software included. My main reason for purchasing was to use the CS6 software, but I'd also like to play some "older-ish" games like Dead Island or Crysis 2 (not the latest and greatest), and my Geforce 8500 GT will barely run Crysis 1.
I'm only looking at spending between $50-60 (/maybe/ up to 75$) on a card, but again I'd like to avoid framerate chugs on games like the ones listed above. For $50 each, I found an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 and an ATI Radeon HD5450 on Craiglist near where I live. Should I pursue either of these or would I find better deals online? What should I go after for that price?
