Best video card for my motherboard and cpu setup?

ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom 2 965 black edition quad core processor

8GB corsair ddr3 ram



I do some gaming but not much. I want a card for around 75 bucks or less, nothing crazy.|||Used is you best bet for that cash.|||I would definitely suggest that you spend less money on that lot, even if you aren't playing many games. Get a Phenom II X4 955, saves a bit of money and it's still a black edition and so on, just has a very slightly lower clock speed (can fix this with some tiny overclocking). I would consider the Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 motherboard, still features USB3 and SATA 6GB/s but is cheaper and so on.



Hardly anyone needs 8GB of RAM at the moment, for most 4GB is fine. For running games, virtual machines, Photoshop, video editing, etc. 4GB is still enough. Just get a 2x2GB kit now and then grab another later if you need more RAM.



Anyway, once you've made savings on those things you should be able to easily fit in an HD 5770 1GB, possibly a GTX 460 1GB. Those would be my recommendations. $75 isn't a lot for a graphics card.|||Since you've bought such a system it'd be a shame to put a cheap $75 graphics card in it. If it was mine I wouldn't consider buying anything less than an NVidia GTX460 or a Radeon HD6850 for it.|||u might be able to find a bare minimun for waht u need for that price but i recomend getting a nvidia video card
