Need a dedicated GPU for an office box

Need a card recommendation for an office box. Usage is porn and Chrome. Nothing more. Match to a 5930K that I am re-purposing as I'm not gaming on it anymore. These are the (only) choices:

GT 710 2GB DDR3 64-bit - $63

GT 730 2GB DDR3 128-bit - $89

R5 230 2GB DDR3 64-bit - $69

R7 240 2GB DDR3 128-bit - $79

R7 360 2GB DDR5 128-bit - $129

I am looking for cheap and the 360 seems to fit the bill. Don't want to pay much as the sole usage is titties and a bit of Office. But mostly titties. Might be some HEVC playback in the future but that 5930K will swallow that so . . .

Opinions?

I don't understand why people buy $100 graphics card to just watch some videos and do some office work. Just use the integrated graphics or buy a cheap $30 card like gt610 or gt710.
 
No integrated GPU on a 5930k, but any basic video card card should do.

Don't forget that VR porn will be coming soon, you don't want to be underpowered for that. 😛

I can think of a few problems with that... Namely... How can you make sure that the money shot doesn't end up all over the place...

Just a thought.
 
EDIT: Have decided on a Strix GTX 950. HEVC decoding is nice to have for future titty support. Indeed. :wub:

Well, you could sell the 5930k and motherboard, and buy an i3 or FM2 apu and motherboard, and probably come out with cash in hand. A skylake or modern AMD igp should be more than sufficient, run cool, and use a lot less power than a hex core and dgpu.
 
Just ordered a R7 360 gigabyte OC for work PC to drive 4k...Will be fun to check out the radeon crimson software...

Not anymore. I won't personally use any system less than an i5 anymore. The sluggishness isn't worth it. And the i3 is a useless halfway chip. A 5930K will slaughter anything Internet browsing related. Still debating getting a GT 710 instead. Prices here are substantially more than the US and near $200 more for a 950, hmmmmm.
