Hey, I've been looking into running this game, but I think I'd definitely need a GPU upgrade before I can. I get around 100-140 FPS in game with my current hardware. What GPU should I look into, or what do most runners currently have?
My specs currently: Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.2ghz 8gb ram nvidia GT 620
I don't have that much more than you (760, i7 4ghz) and I'm able to get all of the fps dependent jumps no problem. The key is making the game look like absolute dogshit (unfortunately) so head into the settings and start dropping everything.
@ctizn, the 760 is more than 10x faster than a gt 620, the gt 620 is a extreme budget card used to just give video out, in some 3d tasks the 760 would be more than 15x faster.
i would be surprised even on lowest if the gt 620 could get more than 50 fps.

I'd like to spend $100-150, the only reason I'm using a GT 620 is because my friend gave it to me for free. The options I were thinking of were GTX 750 TI, GTX 950, or GTX 1050 once it comes out. My PSU is 430W. PCpartpicker estimates that I'm using 183W.
Your best bet then would be to try to find a gtx 960 or a amd r9 380 on sale, they both go for 170 and usually on sale for 130-140.
Don't go for the 750 ti, at worst aim for the amd 270x or the nvidia 950, but the 380/960 on sale would be best bang for buck in that price range.
for example this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127843 960 is 164.99 and after the 25$ mail in rebate its 139.99.
and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121978 this r9 380 is 184.99 but after a 30$ mail in rebate its 154.99
