    I know there are quite a few.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121712 that one will as well as a few others but I would look for a better card used on craigslist or ebay.
    Finding a decent card that doesn't require external power may be a little tricky so I would shoot for a used older card.

    I have a GeForce Gt 640. It can run BF3 on 1080 at low if I'm not mistaken.

    A geforce gtx 750ti 2gb would be great but is a more than 40, and needs a upgrade to the bios in order to work

    I'm pretty sure he put must be under $40 for a reason. Not sure why you would recommend a card that's clearly over that.

    It was a suggestion, maybe the extra cash worth it, but you're right, is more than 40, my mistake

    The extra cash to get a 700 series card? Not likely. If he did that he may as well fork up a little extra cash and get a 960. But yea I didn't mean to come across as rude about it. I was simply stating that him putting that limit was because he's giving that system to somebody else. So he's already spending up to $40 more on it, the last thing he wants to do is invest more money just to give it away.

    GTX 260 could be found around that range. You could also look into a GTX 460 or GTS 450. I've seen those cards in your price range.

    Come to think of it I believe I have two GTX 295's. May be 290s. I would have to double check.
