APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: soon
BUDGET RANGE: $150 max. Closer to $100 if possible. Will take small hit in performance for decent savings.
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: I mostly play SWTOR, Skyrim, and 1701. Would love to play them on highest graphics settings as I currently am. Would also need to be able to play any newer games on a decent graphics setting (don't need highest end settings or cards for newer games).
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 and CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: AMD Phenom II x4 955, Gigabyte AMD MA790XT, 8GB DDR3 1600 SDRAM
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: EVGA or other manufacturer that is equally reliable
OVERCLOCKING: Won't overclock
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Nope, not enough juice.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 on a 24" widescreen
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Must run 3 games mentioned smoothly and leave some room for newer games coming out. Using EVGA Precision X for GPU monitoring and control, set to automatic to adjust fan speed for cooling level needs.

*feeling like a beggar-boss* Well, as everyone may have already pointed out Gtx 750ti is the best. But if you really need it near to 100$ consider R7-250. I think that's a viable choice.
