Thats Fine - A 7870 will run most next gen games on High/Ultra as long as you have a decent CPU matched up with it.

£30 !!!!!! ohhhhh . . . I guess you could get a ATI Radeon HD 6450. This is a very low end gaming card and will run next gen games on the LOWEST settings. It will probably have poor FPS rates though.

If you could stretch your budget to £40 then get the Radeon HD 6670: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Radeon-6670-GDDR3-Graphics/dp/B00BJ2NOXS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383314038&sr=8-2&keywords=6670

Yep, those are Decent cards, but don't expect miracles. Take a look at these links - these GPU's are a bit better than those you listed: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gainward-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-560-Ti-1024-MB-426018336-1831-Graphics-Card-/301000749649?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item46150af251
Another one . . . : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nvidia-GiGABYTE-GTX-560-Ti-448-cuda-cores-Limited-Edition-/181250583797?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item2a33606cf5
One last one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-EN-GTX-570-GeForce-GTX-570-2048-MB-ENGTX570DCII2DIS1280MD5-Graphics-/291008307231?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item43c172601f

But if you cant afford those then I would go with the AMD Radeon HD 6670 or the 6870.
