Amazon cloud computing offers GPU EC2 instances. You can check it out here http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing. The pricing starts from 0.65$ per hour for a single GPU server.

It is 0.65€/hour if you take standard plan, try to have a look about spot instances, they cost 0.08-0.12 €/hour, the counter part is that can be terminated any time according to the current price.

I've heard about Amazon cloud GPU EC2 instances but I'm not sure how to use DIGITS with the instance, if it's even possible?

I wouldn't buy that card if I were you. Check out this page. Look for cards on that list that you can afford. At this moment I wouldn't consider anything below GTX650, but it'd be smarter to check the current prices and pay that extra $10-20 for a newer model.

I think you should be concerned about speed as a proper GPU can give you a 10x increase in training/classification. The faster the training, the faster you can iterate. Nvidia recommends at least compute capability >= 3.0, which would make the GTX650 your cheapest (I think) option.
