Ran out of funds? Well, how much do you have to spend on a GPU?

And do you need a blu-ray drive?

 

[ultimatednc]

I'm willing spend maybe ~$200 for the GPU, but really all I need is something that can run the above games at a medium/high settings and good FPS.

The Blu-ray drive included in my build has blu-ray playback capabilities, just need 3rd party software.

A 7850 Radeon would do the trick well for that build.
