Alright i was thinking a GTX 750 was a beast, then i saw it was like 100$ (I'm American and don't feel like translating that into pounds) Then i looked at a GTX 680 and it was like 1000$ bucks. Isn't that an older model?! That is almost as much as a Radeon HD 7750. Then that GTX 750 is MUCH cheaper than a 770 which is 300$ Then AGAIN the GTX 750 goes from 110$ to 200$ which is a bit weird. Any advice or suggestions? If i can spend 100$ on a GPU it will save me a lot of cash.

P.S By the way I don't want to get into overclocking or custom cooling.

Don't take previous generation prices too seriously. Most of the time if the prices are higher, it's because there aren't many brand new ones left. The prices are better if you buy used.

I don't know too much about the cheaper video cards, but you won't get a whole lot of performance at the $100 range. The lowest I would recommend is a GTX 750 Ti, which is around $150 and will give you quite a bit of performance. It would run most games on medium-high.

GTX 750 is a newer GPU but it's directed towards the lower mid-range graphics card market. You can play games comfortably with the GTX 750 Ti. If you want to know about the best graphics cards, obviously the big names come up like GTX Titan, GTX Titan Black, upcoming R9 295X2.

I saw this and thought why not try it, i can always upgrade later if I don't like it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_Pnte_niJE

this would be the perfect price for me, http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ there's that GPU but also there's another one for 110$ but that's super clocked and I don't like the sound of that.

To link a list from pcpartpicker, you have to copy the URL that is in the "Permalink" field near the top.

Also, a superclocked version is fine. I just means that the manufacturer was able to raise the speed of it slightly, so it will be a little faster than a regular one (usually because they added a more effective cooler).
