Corsair 430 w CX power supply
Asrock P55 Extreme motherboard
Extreme I5 760 2.8 (overclocked to 3.6)
Raidtek EreBoss Heatpipe cooler
8 GB DDR3 1333 (two 2 GB sticks and one 4 GB stick)
WD 1TB HDD
LG DVDRW
Zalman Z11 case
Current GPU - Sapphire HD 5670 1GB DDR5

I'm looking for a better card that'll give me higher FPS in newer games—and obviously, I want to spend as little as possible :-). Right now, my limit is about $0.33
for the new card.

crimsonstag84 suggested an R7 265 (thanks, crimsonstag84!), but I've decided to wait until I can bump up my budget a bit. Now I have roughly $0.57 available, so I'm looking for recommendations in that range that will work with my current components and power supply.

I'm really interested in finding a better card—something that'll give me a decent FPS boost in newer games—while keeping the cost as low as possible, of course :-). Right now, my budget is capped at $0.33 for the new card.
