I am building a pc (my first) and i have been debating over what Graphics card to get. I am not a hard core gamer but would like to play most games on medium or high settings with a decent fps. The maximum i can spend is £150 but i would prefer it to be closer to £100.
So any suggestions
thanks

P.S my specs are:
CPU:intel core i5 3570k
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LX2
Memory: Corsair Vengence 1600mhz 8Gb
PSU: Corsair cx600 watt
HDD: 500Gb seagate HDD

also wich is better: nvidia geforce chips or radeon chips

If the 7850 is too much, you might consider the Radeon 7790 or 7770.
For the nVidia vs AMD, it is purely subjective. They both have their pros and cons.

The thing is GPUs that are capable of doing what you have in mind aren't cheap, at least not first-hand. You could buy a used GPU but that's a shifty market.

If I were you I'd look to get a more affordable CPU than the 3570k and try to squeeze some extry money out of that to get something better.
Your PSU is also overkill for that setup.

The rest of your build is fine but if you want to game with little issues don't get the cheapest GPU you can get. It's a worthwhile investment.

Maybe something like an i5 3470? It's only about $25 cheaper, but it's still going to perform well, and its some extra money to put towards the video card.
