I use 3dmark. I got mine on sale around christmas time for $5. So if your willing to wait and just use the demo the steam summer sale is coming.

Unigine Heaven or Valley are good enough for benchmarks and are free.
3dMark is a little better because you can compare scores easier, and the demo works you just can't really do the custom runs with it, and if you can get it for cheap it's worth it to benchmark any new PC you build (since you will always have it on steam) or any new hardware changes you make.
I used it benchmark all 5 of mine and then I can compare and reference them easily:
