Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm currently in the market for a GPU to go with my Biostar A880GZ. I realize that the MB is outdated at this point but can only afford to upgrade my GPU for now.
I'm wanting something for around 100 bucks that can run Overwatch, League of Legends and the such at around 50-60 fps on moderate settings.

So far these are the ones I've been eyeing (all 2GB);
- GTX 750ti
- GT 1030
- GTX 950
- R7 250
- RX 550
- RX 460

Any suggestions/opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Go with a GTX1050. Low power usage so no six pin connector needed. And if you ever upgrade your CPU, it is still a decent card.
Your question actually depends more on which CPU and PSU you have as opposed to which mobo you have. The mobo simply has to have a PCI-e x16 slot to accommodate the card, what you really need to determine is if you have enough power to run the GPU and will the CPU bottleneck the GPU during gaming.

The fastest GPU you have listed is the GTX 950.

Your mobo is an AM3+ so I hope that you have an FX 8xxx or FX 6xxx series CPU. If you do then the GTX 950 will be a good pairing. You will just have to make sure that your PSU has enough watts and that it has the right power connectors, I believe you will need a 6-pin power connector for the GTX 950.
