So I'm trying to buy a GPU but I don't know which one to buy. I haven't found any guides that are really useful, but if you guys have any that would be helpful.

Anyways here are my specs.

I believe mine is an Asus CM6730, according to my DirectX Diag tool there are three system models. It's either CM6730, CM6830, or CM6630.

My processor is is an Intel R Core, i3-3220T CPU @ 2.80GHz (4 CPU's,) about 2.8 GHz

Memory is 4096MB Ram

Windows 7 64 bit.


I'm trying to stay under 100, but if that's not possible than that's fine too. It would be really helpful. Thank you.

It looks like you have a 300W power supply in that, so you're options are videocards that do not require a 6 or 8 pin pci-ex connector.

Under $100, if you only want to buy new, I'd suggest the Geforce GT 1030. If you can spare a bit more money, the RX 460 2gb. The GTX 1050 would be best of all those but it costs the most.

If you could find one at a good price used, or even new, a GTX 750 Ti would be alright. Not quite as good as the RX 460 but if the price is right...

No matter what you buy, you have a dual core so understand that certain games won't run well.

Thanks for the reply. I was intrigued by the options I had, but I felt like I could bring down the price a bit more. I'm only looking for a GPU that could run some Black Ops 2 or something older. I found some GPU's on eBay and they seem to be great deals. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-Corporation-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-260-896-P3-1260-AR-896P31260AR-/182592253957?hash=item2a8358b005:g:gEoAAOSw-K9ZJ0R6

These seem like good options and I ran my specs through Game-Debate, not sure how accurate it is. There is a considerable disparity in price and I'm not looking for anything hardcore. Would these two GPU's or similar be fine?
