What graphics card?

[Jbenekeorr]

Hi all, my graphics card has unfortunately packed up as far as I can tell.
It is a Nvidia 8800GTX.

I am wanting to replace it with something a little better if possible (I know it's very old now! As is the rest of the system.)

I'm not really sure what I need to spend but somewhere around the £50 -£70 mark was my guess.

The computer specs are as follows -
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @3.00Ghz
4GB RAM
Corsair HX520W PSU

If you require any more info then I can give you it. I'm literally just reading off the components as I bought this PC off a friend.

I generally play Minecraft, Rfactor, Farming Sim 2013 (Yes i'm proud to admit it), Saint's Row 3, and I was considering Far Cry 3.

I just want it to run most games with the settings somewhere above minimum. Nothing special

I'm a bit rusty these days hence me asking for advice.

Any help appreciated

James

Would you like new or used? For £70, you're not going to get anything good new, but used you may find some good deals on 9800s and stuff.

Don't mind used if that's what it takes.

Will I not get anything better than the existing card for that sort of money then if new?

You could try to find something like a gtx 460... not sure what the prices are in UK though...
