I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive Nvidea card. Games that this system has are World of Warcraft, Europa Universalis 4, Black Ops, Train Simulator 2015, Skyrim and other less graphic intensive titles. I don't usually play many first person games, but if I want to dip my feet in with something I can do so. Skylines, a game I want to get requires a video card. Currently I have the built in processor Intel 4600. It actually works nicely for the moment.

My system build is:

Intel Core i5-4590 Haswell Quad-Core 3.3GHz LGA 1150 84W BX80646I54590 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
MSI Z97-Gaming 5 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00
Rosewill Hive-750, Hive Series 750W Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS Bronze Certified, Single +12V Rail
SAMSUNG DVD Burner SATA Model SH-224DB/BEBE - OEM


Suggestion for video cards that are ideally $100 or less and why it might be a good choice. Thanks in advance for your help.

My objective is to see increased FPS and/or the ability to increase detail. From where I came from the setup I have is working nicely.

- Usually priced @ $129.99, now available at a steal price. It's rare to get a decent 2GB graphics card around $100.
- The GTX 750 is extremely power efficient card which requires only a 400W PSU.
- In fact, it do not require a power connector and is entirely powered through a PCI-Express x16 Slot.

A good performance card on this budget.

Cheers!
