Best GPU for around 100 dollars?

Theguythatneedshelp · Aug 2, 2014

I have an HP Pavillion computer and i decided to upgrade it. I have about 350 dollars so i decided get a bigger case for like 40 dollars (i don't know if i need to tho). I need a cheap AM3+ mobo, a nice CPU and a GPU for like 100 dollars maybe a bit more. I already have Power-supply for 600 Watts and i have a stock cooler from fx 6300 (my other computer). So what i am asking is for a Mother Board, a CPU and a GPU for about 300 dollars. But please tell me, maybe i don't need a case.I was thinking of an HD 7770 but i don't know much. Thamk you.

The 260x is better than the 7770. The 750 to as the above poster said is good and also beats the 260x. However it will be over budget as 750 ti is about $150.

GTX 750 is the best for that price. It will save on the power bill too.

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

Oh nvm he was talking about the 750. The 260x is better than the 750. It goes 750<260x<750ti. What PSU do you have btw?

You must have a stock cooler in spare as the CPU doesn't come with one.

He did say he was looking for one under 100 dollars

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

Well he said he had a $350 budget and was spending $40 on a case. But here GPU under 100

He was also looking for CPU-GPU-MoBo under $300, so there it is. 3.8 GHz Quad Core, AM3+ MoBo and a good 128 bit 1 GB DDR5 85GB/s card. Not good enough?

Theguythatneedshelp · Aug 2, 2014

Wow so many replies. I have 600 watt power supply. I was thinking of a gtx 750 but i don't know. I just finished my first build and it runs on a slightly used r9 270x Toxic. And by slightly i mean it was turned on for 4 hours and that is it. The card works great so i was thinking of maybe getting something that is slightly used but not overclocked or anything. I got my Toxic for 150 dollars and that is the price of a Gtx 750 ti

Without the case i have like 340 dollars. If the parts could fit into a stock HP case then that is good and i get to save some money. I dont know if a gtx 750 or 260x would fit.

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

I don't know wheter it will fit or not. Did you have an old GPU that used to be in the case? Measuring that could give us a reference

Theguythatneedshelp · Aug 2, 2014

I had an old power color 6570. It looks like it is about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide.Looks tiny compared to my R9 270x Toxic haha. When the card was in, there was still about an inch or more left.

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

The 2nd build I linked you (xfx 260x) will fit. 8 inches is about 200mm and the card is 167 mm long. If you still had an inch left as you said 9 inches about 230mm and the ASUS 260x is 215mm long.

Theguythatneedshelp · Aug 2, 2014

Wow that is great. it means that i have an extra 40 dollars. (I hope that the MOther Board will fit). Is there anything i should get with theses 40 dollars?

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

Well what motherboard does the case for now? If it's ATX then it will do fine. And if you do end up not needing a new case:

EDIT: Just some info on the card I changed to with your extra budget. Will play games on high at 1080p. It's also only 200mm

Theguythatneedshelp · Aug 2, 2014

N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX (Alvorix). That is my motherboard

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

Hmm uATX is a microATX. I'll try to find a good microATX mobo.

DroneDroneDrone · Aug 2, 2014

Ughh here's a build. Since mATX is much cheaper I just decided to add a decent PSU as well as you said you had some problems with the other one. If you don't think you need one well you'll have an extra $40 or so to spend somewhere else.

Theguythatneedshelp · Aug 2, 2014

wait so which microATX mobo can work for me?
