i'm thinking about a "new" build primarily for Steam games, but one option i have is to reclaim an older build (which is currently at the office), move that employee to another machine, and just add a graphics card for myself.
that old build is an A6-3650 sitting on a GA-A75M-UD2H board with i think 4G of 1600 ram. win7x64 pro.
board: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3928#ov
since the stuff is "free", the only things i'd need to add are a graphics card and MAYBE a nicer case. psu is a non-issue (i can replace it if needed). which means budget is relatively flexible.
so what's the highest AMD card for that old processor? i'd want to stick to AMD, simply cuz i already have intel+nvidia in another build. games are from Steam at 1080p, and i don't go crazy with ultra super-high-def settings.
