What is the best bang for the buck for a $100.00 PCI-e Video card? I've got a Corsair 400CX PSU,ASUS P7H55-M motherboard,i3core 540 CPU running at 3.8Ghz 8GB GSkill RipJaws 1600 DDR3 (4GB x 2) Audigy 2 Value Sound Card,4 Antec 120mm case fans.
 
If you're an AMD guy, then the ASUS HD7770-1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5. $109.99, but $89.99 after the $20 mail in rebate.

If you like AMD better and can eek out another $20, consider the 260x.

If you're an Nvidia guy, then the MSI N650TI-1GD5/V1 GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB. $124.99, but $104.99 after the $20 mail in rebate.

The 650ti will likely outperform the 7700 in most situations. If I had a $100 budget, I'd take the 650ti myself.

This review by tomshardware includes both cards in the benchmarks. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-650-ti-benchmark-gk106,3318-7.html
 
On a budget like that I wouldnt wana buy a new card. Buy from the H market place. You should be able to get like a 7850 or something like a 560ti around that price point. Maybe even a GTX 580. Actually dont get a 580. Your PSU wont handle.

Took the newbies advice.Anyone have use for FF 14?
 
I've used that same MSI card before. It works well for what it is.
 
Id take a Geforce 560 TI over any of the cards you listed. i got mine for $80 from these forums.
 
If you can't find a 7770, get an r7 250x. Same card, different sticker. Lower starting msrp.
 
The XFX R7-250A-ZLH4 Radeon R7 250 1GB is looking good to me.Looks like you could game and shave with it:D
