Hye! I am looking for a cheap yet good GPU for gaming that is 100$ or under. I mostly play CSGO, Gmod, Payday, and typical MMORPGs. I do not plan on playing big titles like Far Cry 3 and Battlefield etc. My specs are
FX-6300
MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ ATX Mobo
Rosewill Green Series 630W 80+ Bronze
DDR3 1600 (2X2) 4GB Ripjaw Memory
1 TB WD HDD

Thanks Guys! I DO NOT DO NOT want to go over 100. Also I did not buy these parts yet but plan to soon.

Yeah, thats good. You should definitely get a different mobo though. If you try to overclock anything it has lots of reports of setting on fire.
 
Or you could do this.

Okay thank you also how good is this CPU. I chose the HD 7770 2gb gou with the cpu you gave me and I was wondering what frame rate would I get in games like CSGO and games around those lines,MMORPGS and such. Like a estimate.

 
Well to be honest CS go isn't a very demanding game I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't able to max it out. In terms of MMO's I'd suspect high settings quite easily probably 60+ FPS in a game like WoW; those games don't really require a ton of GPU horsepower.

Thats the risk factor here, risk these good parts and wait for St.Patties or buy them now....

 


If you want just wait for that then. Good chances are that things wont dip much in terms of price. If anything I'd keep a eye and perhaps you can get something stronger what you have listed in the meantime.
