Hello,

I wouldn't recommend buying an APU if you are planning to use the PC for gaming. You can get a better performance by buying an FX CPU (if you want to stick with AMD) and then adding a GPU.

About the GPU for about $ I guess a GeForce GTX 750 would be the best choice and if you can push your budget with another $30 you can buy the GTX 750 Ti.

The GTX 750 is your best bet if you don't want to go over $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487034&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Or if you can spare another $30 then a better option is GTX 750 Ti http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487024&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
