You probably will not find a card classified for gaming under $100.

The GT 630 is definitely not a gaming card. You will need at least a GTX-550Ti or better but the 550/650 is considered to be at the bottom end of gaming graphics. Other than a general rating for graphics cards, it really depends on which games you plan on playing and if you want to max out game settings. Your best bet would be 560/660 arena. Price-wise that is around $150 and the Radeon HD 7800 series.

For around $100 you can pick up a GTX 650 or HD 7770. Since you're playing at a low resolution you should be able to play games at medium-high settings with those cards.

I'd just wait until you have a bigger budget, so your upgrade is more noticeable.

We can tel lfrom your PC specs that you don't do heavy gaming anyway on demanding games.
