Looking for the best bang for my buck, preferably around $100-$150 or lower. I would like to specifically run the game H1Z1 and need the upgrade to do so, So I'll list the games "minimum requirements" as well.

PC Specs:

OS - Windows 8.1 64-bit
CPU - i3 2120 3.3GHz Dual-Core (Sandy Bridge)
GPU - Intel HD Graphics 2000
RAM - 4GB DDR3
PSU - 300W (I'm assuming as its stock, haven't had the chance to check yet)

H1Z1 Min. Requirements:

OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (64 bit only)
Processor: Intel i3 Dual-Core with Hyper-Threading (required)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: nVidia GeForce GTX 275 series or higher
DirectX: Version 10
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 20 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card

The integrated HD graphics has the pixel shader and DirectX requirements but not the shareable memory requirements met. I'm honestly only looking to play on low settings or maybe medium at best without having to upgrade my PSU as well. Any suggestions for the best preforming card for my system as it is?

ALSO: Preferably a relatively in stock GPU. I have seen the Radeon HD 6670 recommended a lot, but cannot find that in stock anywhere.

If you have the tower sized model you can throw in pretty much any GPU if you upgrade the PSU to match. If you want to use the stock PSU, which I don't recommend, the best you can do is a GTX 750 ti. That would be a stretch for your PSU, but should make the game playable.

Yeah, I will eventually have to upgrade the PSU, There seems to be quite a bit of space in the box, but ill have to open her up and find out before I make any purchases because being a stock Dell prebuilt, I wanna make sure I have the ability to upgrade on this motherboard model and verify the PSU Wattage. I'll look into that card. I never bothered to look at the 750ti because the 550ti requires a 400W, so I daftly assumed the 750ti would need the same if not more haha. THANK YOU!
