I've recently built a computer for my mom (FX4100, GA-78LMT-S2P, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD) and I wanted to get a video card to take the load off of the rest of the system. Newegg has a Shell Shocker right now that is a GT 620 for $15 after rebate. They also have a HD 6450 for the same price. How well would either of these work for this application? And out of curiosity, could these play a game such as TF2?

Or should I forget these and wait and see if a Christmas sale will have anything better, or the same for cheaper like free AR?

Thanks for the help!
 
Both are good entry level cards. They should both handle TF2 at moderate resolutions.
 
Are they about equal to each other or is one definitely better than the other? I know the 620 is newer, but really a rebadged GT 530.
 
Why waste the money. And what do you mean take a load of the rest of the system
