never skimp on the PSU and GPU. r7 250x/750 non ti should be your baseline gpu these days.

You should definitely pick a higher quality power supply - Antec, Seasonic, EVGA, and Corsair (excluding the CX-series) all make good units.

You won't be happy with an R7-240 - it's an entry level card, and you'll be playing at the lowest quality on the lowest resolution possible:

I'd consider dropping the Athlon and going with a Haswell-series Pentium and an inexpensive motherboard to match. Use that money to get an R7-250, or even better would be a 260 if possible, as the 250 is still an entry-level card.

I got a better power supply. Any good graphics cards around $90?

Id shoot for a gtx 750 1gb version if you want something around your budget, it will be slightly over budget, but at least you will get enjoyable fps at meduim @ 720p
