Hello i am looking for a cheap graphics card for £50 or under, anything that is a step up from my integrated Intel HD 1000. I've been looking up the ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 PCI-E Graphics Card - 2 GB but ive been looking around saying that because its a low end Graphics card it wont even use 2gb.

my power supply is 300w i can run Minecraft on far and fancy with smooth lighting on at 30-40 fps but will this graphics card increase this? or is there another which you could recommend me thank you to those who respond.

take a look at this

The thing is your not going to find any "new" cards that say they will run off a 300w PSU however as long as they don't have a power connector they should be able to run off the PCIe slot with out issue.

I would get this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GV-R657OC-1GI-Graphics-adapter/dp/B004ZHDZVU/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1366152505&sr=1-7&keywords=hd+6570

Those it uses the same amount of power as 6670 but cheaper but the 6670 is a much better card due to the memory type.
