Probably one of these two. But they aren't great for gaming, as one review says, they are a small step up from intergrated graphics but you can have some fun out of them at low-ish settings:

AMD R7 240 : http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#sort=a8&qq=1&c=151

OR

GT 630 : http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#sort=a8&qq=1&c=105

NOOOO PLEASE DON'T BUY A R7 240, its an insult to all decent graphics card owners on this planet!

To continue on this train of thought, there are no decent graphics cards in 60$ price tag, only turkeys for which you will be better of with whatever you already got.
 


I run a 5450 on a machine. way better than the on board graphics and can play CoD2 at 720p without too much troubles.

Look guys, I know from experience, and I say that I cannot look myself in the mirror if I ever buy another budget card again. I'd rather clinch my teeth and save for even another 6 months if I must, but I'll never buy anything that costs below 150$ again.

rather get a gt520, but a g210 is a bad idea, the g210 cant even play BF3 and on CoD get ready to be short by unseen enemies and bad frame pacing and shuttering, gl mate youll need it
