Looking for affordable Video card.?

I'm looking to put a video card in my tower to replace the integrated that it came with. These are the present specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506)

System Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.

System Model: CM6630_CM6730_CM6830.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Memory: 8192MB RAM

Available OS Memory: 8104MB RAM

Page File: 2019MB used, 14187MB available

DirectX Version: DirectX 11

I'm looking to run games such as SWTOR, League of Legends, Diablo 3, DOTA 2 etc. Nothing too graphically intensive but I would like to run these games at high to max setting. If I could do so without dropping more than $150 on a card even better.

    Gigabyte GTX460 at Newegg.com is $139.00-I got one last Christmas a year ago and they were $206 then, very good card for gaming. Your power supply will need to be 500 to 600watts for a good video card.

    As a slightly less expensive option, the MSI nVidia GeForce GT430 2GB OC can handle all of those games pretty well (SWTOR will not be able to be in the highest graphic setting, but in medium it will run fine) and can be hadfrom superbiiz.com for about $75.00. I looked up coupon codes and I found HAPPY2012 should get you a few dollars off.

    (If you want to spend $150, though, the one the other guy recommended is a little bit better than this one.)

    I recommend the HD5750. It can play BF3 on high so it will run those games maxed no problem. It goes for $115
