For minecraft I've noticed that it's not so much the video card (though it does help) as the RAM, since it's Java/Python based it almost entirely depends on memory. My video card is crap, and when I first built my PC with 4GB of RAM I could barely run Minecraft. Now that I have 16GB, I run a server with a texture pack and over 90 mods with no lag. Hope that helps on that end at least. As far as a budget card under 50, it's not going to be the best graphics in WoW. There are some out there that, depending on the rest of your build, may get you somewhere, but they won't get you the 90FPS on Ultra settings.

Go for the new Nvidia GT740 ,720 or even better AMD R7 240 :) 
Or if you have a tight budget, go for Nvidia 210 , AMD R5 230 .
I play League of Legends and Dota2 on R7 , with max settings 60+ fps.
