I'd prefer not to spend more than, say, $300 or $400. NVidia only. Was never a fan of other cards. Mostly looking for what the budget performance series line is right now so I can research from there.

What are you using right now? I'd recommend waiting out the storm and not buying a new card right now. The 10 series is already 2+ years old and the price has only significantly increased. You'd honestly be better off just buying a $900 laptop with a 1060 than buying a boxed video card.

I understand the advice and I generally agree but I don't want to drop anywhere near that much right now for this system.

How about just getting a GTX 780 for now. I used one of those for 4 years at work as a game dev. Good cards. They look to be $170 range on ebay. I don't know your system specs, but many games are actually CPU-bound. If you have an older CPU, don't drop a ton on a new GPU.

It's actually a good system. i7 4790 4 cores, 16 gig DDR3 800mhz (11/11/11/28). And didn't pay a dime for it XD

The only thing lacking is a decent graphics card and I wouldn't have a single care about its performance.
