BUDGET: CAD up to $200 (Before Rebates, before shipping and handling)
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (bf4, arma 3, bf1) on low/med settings at very high fps (over 120 if possible)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Intel HD 2000. Normally for my PC the limit for the mxm slot is 35w but i can have around 65w by disconnecting the blu ray drive.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: cpu: intel i5-3450s, mobo: IPISB-NK LAVACA3-SB, memory: 2x 4gb DDR3-1600 (hp doesn't specify the manufacturer)
PREFERRED WEBSITES FOR PARTS: newegg.com and canadacomputers, or any reputable canadian site.
PARTS PREFERENCES: It must be a mxm 3.0 type a and use less than 65w
OVERCLOCKING: It would be nice but i can live without it.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Native res is 1920 x 1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I am trying to upgrade the graphics for an HP envy 23 d038c. I had made a similar thread to this one in the past but realized I could have another 30w of breathing room (65-70w total) by unplugging my disc drive (since those use around 30w). Also the old thread turned into a rabit-hole of responses.
I know where to buy these cards. I just don't know which ones are good deals or not.

I would like to play bf4/bf1 and arma 3 on low-med settings at high FPS (over 120 if possible). Then there are other games I can run on integrated graphics (CS:GO, TF2, dirty bomb) but i want to be able to run them on low/med settings at very high framerate (over 180 fps).
