I ended up buying a EVGA GTX 950 SC. Obviously it was way over my $100 CAD budget (it was about $230 CAD), but I like the benchmarks on review websites vs other budget cards. Certain AMD cards might be in the same ballpark, but I honestly hate the AMD Catalyst software so I wanted nVidia. It was tempting to just spend a few bucks more and get a GTX 960, but then you start on a downward slope that just leads to more money. You have to draw the line somewhere.
My initial views on the 950 are fairly positive. It's really quiet, but that might be due to the EVGA 2.0 ACX cooler and not a universal 950 thing. I literally can't hear it above the ambient noise.
My son is super happy with his new gaming machine, and that makes me happy.
