Hi guys, I am planning to buy a new low end graphics card and need your help to decide which one to buy

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: the most Gpu intensive games I will be playing are team fortress two or world of tanks

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: I am currently using intel hd 2000 integrated graphics with a cheap dell 300w Psu

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: my Pc Is made buy dell and I bought it in 2012, it uses an intel i5 2320 running at 3.0 ghz. I have 4GB of ram but I am not sure what speed it is running at. The hdd is running at 5,400 rpm and has a capacity of 500 GB. I don't really know anything about the motherboard.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: amazon.co.uk or scan.co.uk
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Britain

PARTS PREFERENCES: I am thinking about using a r7 240 because i have heard it only uses 30w, my other option would be a hd 7750 but that uses 55w I think. I have heard about other people using the 7750 on 300w psu's but I don't really want to risk damaging my pc. I would like to avoid buying a new psu.

BUDGET: around £70

OVERCLOCKING: No.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1024x724 but go up to1920x1080

I am planning on buying a steam box when they are released so my card doesn't need to be future proof.

Thanks for your help.

The 7750 should outperform the R7 240. It should run on your 300w power supply no problem. Check this one out: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-sapphire-radeon-hd-7...
If you can afford it, you might want to get a 430 watt power supply (~30), and a 7770(~80-90).

Thanks for the reply sanotal, I think I'll go with the 7750. I might upgrade my psu in the future as cheap Psu's tend to deteriorate after a while
