Ok good, that was my thought too, but wasn't sure :/
What is the best value card out there right now that will work with Windows 7? Like, seems if I remember like with all things there were diminishing returns in performance/$ once you got past a certain point?

Completely subjective on what games you play, what resolution & refresh rate you run, what your budget is, whether you have a FreeSync or G-Sync monitor or neither. If all you play is Project 1999, you don't need a $400 graphics card.
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/ is a good site to compare GPUs' relative power and value to each other. If you can swing around $200-250, the new Radeon RX 470 (AMD) or the GTX 1060 (Nvidia) are pretty widely regarded as the sweet spot in performance to price but either of them may be overkill for your gaming needs. Also lots of used GTX 970's on the market right now for under $200 which is a great card.
Personally I just recently bought a Radeon R9 380X, which is last year's model. It's not as powerful as either of those cards, but for the games I play and the $138 I paid for it after promotions and rebate, it was the best deal I could find.
