I recently got a new computer. The specs are above. Now I was told that I should upgrade my graphics card.

I have a budget of £100 tops. But I don't even know where to begin.

Any suggestions on a graphic card that will both work and is sufficient for some decent gaming?

 

Thanks all

Before you spend money on a Video Card - have you tried the one you have on the games that you want to play?

 

If you do decide that you need a new card - take a look here:

Before considering a new GPU, you need to check that the PSU will handle it and also that the monitor you plan on using it on is ok, there is no point investing £100 in a new GPU if you are running a monitor with a res of 1024x768 :D
