Looking for a Graphics Card
-
What about this one? An NVidia 750Ti GTX with 2GB seems like a good card.

Or a similar from ASUS: http://www.amazon.com/GeForce-750Ti-GDDR5-Graphics-GTX750TI-OC-2GD5/dp/B00IB9P1KG

Tom's Harware has a list made for SAM.
I agree. Looks like a Radion R7 360 is currently the sweet spot.

You could spend a little more and get a 960 for around $200. Maybe less if she shops around and waits for a deal. http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales is a good place to look for deals.

Want GTX to interface with Steam.

Cool, $159 after rebate is not bad at all. She might go for that.

Make sure to check the PSU and power requirements to see if that needs replacing.

What does this mean? Are we talking about the driver integration that Steam does? Or is there something more?

I'm running the 760 TI you can find them here, in everything I've run I get 50-70 FPS starting at $129.99

Steam has several features that use the NVidia streaming technology that is only included in GTX model GPUs. You can use Steam without it, but not all Steam features like the Steam Link.

I always forget about that. Wish they'd enable the same features through AMD. I'm all AMD at the moment.

I'm still a rabid fan of NVIDIA for Gaming, and AMD for Video Processing.

AMD has a separate recording app now. It might do streaming, haven't looked for that. It works with all games tho, not just Steam ones.
