Only got $50 andso I bought a geForce GT 610 thinking it'd be an upgrade from the integrated 3200 HD. I was wondering if it's good enough for higher display and graphics?

a gt 610 is essentially a gt 520, which is worse than an intel HD 4000, but better than an intel HD 3000. at the most its a few fps better, barely noticable. for entry level graphics, AMD offerings tend to be alot better price/perf wise. its possible to find a few 6570's or 6670's(about 8800 gs perf, a tier under gt 640) slightly above 50$. generally anything below is not meant for heavy work.

best idea would be buy a used card from ebay ,they are more than worthy than those crap cards out there just choose a card from a good manufacturer. "BUYING A NEW CARD FOR 50$ IS TOTALLY WASTE" i myself had only 48$ and brought an used EVGA GTS 450 and I'm loving it playing every game at 1600x900 at medium settings without any problem even battlefield 4.

a ATI 3200 HD plays similarish to intels HD 3000, regardless at this price range, getting one 2nd hand like vishalaestro mentions will be best for your budget. good sub 50$ gpus dont appear on the market much(e.g HD 6770 was sold on blackfriday for sub 50$, nothing else) upgrading a gpu from where you are to a gt 610 is not very efficient price to performance gain at all.

off ebay, I would think you can find offhand GTS 450's, HD 4850's, 4870's and possibly 6750's(which perform around the 80ish$ mark gpu tier wise, the 450 or 6750 recommended for DX11 support)
