[Build Help] Looking for a video card to finish off build! Suggestions are appreciated!

USD$

###Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Casual gaming/work/study/learning programming etc

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

Not really too hard on this category. Ive been a casual gamer all my life (Halo) and ive never had a pc/laptop that can play any game above low settings.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Around $500 most likely. Im pretty flexible though and am willing to budge a little bit.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I bought all the other parts you see marked as purchased in the link above. Just don't know much about video cards after some research and what brands are good/stay away from! I hope so far I've gotten some good deals. I'm assuming I did ok with finding the parts for the cheapest possible/sale
