Help choosing GPU for entry level CUDA programming

[the123guy]

After taking a course in parallel computing, I would like to continue practicing CUDA programming.

APPROX PURCHASE DATE: TDB

PRICE RANGE: < ~$100

PREFERRED PARTS WEBSITE: Newegg

OVERCLOCKING: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080

OS: Debian based Linux distro (e.g., Linux Mint)

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Will be running most likely with an Intel Celeron G530 and an Antec Earthwatts 380W PSU. GPU will be used to locally practice CUDA programming. Price of the utmost importance but will consider more expensive options.

under 100.00 cards there only a few nvidia cards the 550ti the 620/630/640/650. the 640 and 650 are the same gpu just the 650 has faster ram. the 640 has ddr3.
