For good HD Playback, you can go for NVIDIA GT520 for around 2.9K. Provides great performance in playing HD media without any stuttering or lags. For something cheaper you can go for AMD HD5450 1GB for around 2.4K. Both are good cards but HD5450 is passively cooled, and good for those who are skeptical about the extra noise of GPU fan.

another option is HD6450 @ ~2.6k. slightly better than GT520.

performance wise GT 520 DDr3 is better than HD6450 DDr3 but HD6450 GDDR5 beats both but it's hard to find though.

any gpu with 512 mb vram is enough, ddr3 or dd5 won't make big diffrence in here. Pick anyone which suites in ur budget.
