    Default Cheap but good GFX Card.

    I'm looking to play some CoD4 on PC. I have a mediocre GFX card but I was looking for a good one for the cheapest price possible. Any ideas?

    How cheap is cheap? £50? £100?

    And do you have a PSU that can handle it?

    Under £100 (ok, £102 if we're getting technical), I'd go for http://www.ebuyer.com/product/175722

    Under £70, I'd go for http://www.ebuyer.com/product/190138

    Under £50, I'd go for http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191529

    All up to date cards, will serve well with CoD I think.

    I need recommendations from you PC buffs out there. Here are my PC specs:
    OS - Windows Vista Home Premium
    Language - English
    System Manufacturer - Dell Inc
    System Model - Studio 540
    Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33Ghz (4 CPU's)
    Memory - 3292MB (I'm on a 32-bit so maximum is 4GB)
    Display Device - Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset
    Total Approx Memory - 1422MB

    I'm assuming my motherboard + graphics card are combined so I'm willing to spend about £150-200 on getting another motherboard + decent graphics card is this is this case.
    Thanks for your help.

    You don't need a new motherboard AFAIK

    I have a 360W.
    I'm upgrading to this graphics card here.
    I'll need a better PSU for this to work so I'm upgrading to this here.
    Would this work, plus does anyone know a UK retailer for these items?

    I can't find the card you wanted on eBuyer, and Scan are currently awaiting an ETA. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/896MB...-MHz-216-Cores is the Scan link.

    PSU, on the other hand, this would be your best bet: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124926 I think.

    Paul, I'd go with an ATI card, due to the fact you can get DirectX 11, and they are often cheaper for better quality cards. I'd recommend this card: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/1GB-S...splay-PortHDMI but make sure it'll fit in your PC case.

    it's extremeley hard to get hold of a GTX 260 in the UK at the moment - i'd either wait till they bring their alternative out, or go Ati (summit like a 4870)

    You're willing to spend £150-£200 just to play CoD?

    Seriously... don't buy a GFX card unless your going to buy a good amount of games, not just CoD. I suggest you get Sims 3 as well.
