Msi 785gt-e63 Video Card upgrade

[Quags]

Looking at upgradeing my Msi 785gt-63e from on-board video to a graphics card. want to keep it under $100, and still have atleast 1Gb, supporting 1080p video. Any suggestions?

What power supply do you have? What CPU do you have? You said support 1080p, judging by the way you worded that you mean you want a graphics card just for movies and what not? Will this be used for gaming at all?

going to be used for mostly movies, it is hooked up to a 58" plasma right now thru the onboard HDMI, however I would like to continue to play games on it.

Yup Radeon HD 5750 is really your only bet for a card under $100 that is good for an HTPC but also has the GUMPTION to get some L4D, WoW, MW2/3, gaming done right.
