The R7 260x is a better video card for the money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?sdtid=7665446&SID=44b425e36a3b4697a35407e5c0676edd&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16814202081&cm_sp=

His price range is $500 and below. That would exceed his maximum price point. If he had extra money, then go for it.

Last time I check $95 is less than the $99 on your build.

That GPU is $115.
