I'm in the market for a new graphics card (budget of £120) and I'm not very good at this sort of stuff so if anyone could link me to a good and cheap graphics card that would be great also it would be nice if it could play in 1080p

would a intel core i7 3770 cpu @ 3.40 GHz be able to run it? (just to make sure)

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

Without a single doubt.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

awesome thankyou for the help

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

No problem, I'm here for that, sir !
Remember to pick your solution.

Also, a little question just to make sure that everything will work for you. What is your actual build ?

byogamingpc :

The HD 7850 is sold for the same price, and has better performances than the GTX 650 Ti, so I don't agree on this one.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

you know the processor as it says
ram: 8GB
graphics card: GeForce GT620
64 bit operating system
x64 based processor

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

What PSU do you have ? Wattage+brand.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

intel i7 3770 cpu @ 3.40 GHz

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

Oh sorry, meant PSU.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

I'm not sure because i didn't build the pc it was a christmas present :S and you need to open it up to find out right?

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

You might find some sticker on it with those informations, without having to actually open the PSU (which I really don't recommend you to do).

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

nope i cant find one but the actual pc is a hp pavillion p6 series desktop if that helps in anyway

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

Looks like a random branded 300W power supply. You'll need to buy another one, before you think about changing the graphics card.

This PSU would be a good choice for you : http://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w-psu-xfx-core-edition-p1-550s-xxb9-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

what one would you recommend for a cheap price also?

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

Added it to my previous post.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

is there anything else maybe a bit cheaper because i'm on a budget? :/

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

No, that was the cheapest I could find. But you could cut on the graphics card, get an HD 7770 : http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0083XNWLK/?tag=pcp0f-21, the PSU that I proposed you, and then maybe get another new GPU when you'll have more money. Or just get a PSU for now, and wait to get an HD 7850. But you'll for sure need the PSU BEFORE a new GPU.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

i'll probably buy the psu first then wait and buy an HD 7850 thankyou for your help

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

No problem, I'm here for that.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

also would that fit into http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/hp-pavilion-p6-2494ea-desktop-pc-21472246-pdt.html which is the one i believe i have

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

Yes it will. This card is relatively short.

Timone · Aug 21, 2013

ok awesome and one last question are there any other graphics cards that give out the same performance as the HD 7850 at a lower price that you would recommend?

Seladon-1370374 · Aug 21, 2013

Nope, it really is the best for this price. It is even better than a few cards that actually cost more.

Cheap and good graphics card
