Title pretty much says it all. What is the best GPU with a 6 or 8 pin power connector for $110 or less?

edit: forgot to mention that it can be a used gpu

$110 and used? You might be able to find a Radeon HD 6850 for that price; it would be faster than the 7770, though not by a ton.

Edit: Whoops, forgot the power requirement. 6850 it is

For a Few Dollars more (what a great name for a movie!) why not germ a GTX 650 Ti. I requires just 1 6-pin and is faster than 1 of my GTX 460 1GB!

Thanks for the help, guys. After searching for hours, I've found this used 560 SE for $110 free shipping. The problem is that my power supply, the CX430 only has a 6+2 pci power connector and the 560 requires 2x 6 pins. Is there an adapter I could buy to make it compatible? Or should I just get the 550 Ti?

They make adapters that take 2x 4-pin Molex and turn it into a 6pin PCIe. SO that's the route you'd need to go.

I would troll craigslist and see if you can find yourself a deal. A lot of people upgrade this time of year. Might be able to grab something for pretty cheap?

560 will be faster than 7770 and significantly faster than 550ti. Use up your molex connectors.
