Hi guys. Need major help here. I hardly PC game. At all. Th last card I bought was an HD4850 512MB if that tells you anything.

However, it died. I have been using onboard video, but that is on the fritz as well.

So, I need a card. I recently bought a Samsung 4k 7100 series TV, so my old 1080p plasma has been moved to the office. So whatever card I get should be able to lightly game in 1080p.

As I said, I hardly game on PC, but Karmaflow has piqued my interest, as well I'd like to play through the Y's games again.

I do stream a hell of a lot, though.

So basically, I'm looking for the best I can possibly get for about $75 bucks.

I have looked, and the current naming conventions from both major players, ATI and Nvidia, are all over the darn map. I have no idea what is good, and what is gimped. So what is the best card I can get for what I'm looking to spend?

Oh yeah, current specs:

2700k slight OC to 4ghz
Gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3
16GB DDR3 1600
256GB Crucial M4
Dual 1TB WD blacks
Antec 550w supply
Antec 900 case
 
I would keep an eye out in the classified section and pick up something used. Pretty much anything for $75 will be better then your old card, I'm thinking a HD 7950 or a GTX 670.
