I've recently realised how outdated my PC is. With a budget of only about £100, what graphics card could i get that wouldn't bottleneck my current system? I play games like battlefield 3, portal 2 and gta IV (i.e. not incredibly demanding games)
Current System:
Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2GHz over clocked to 2.5GHz
4gb DDR2 800MHz
GeForce 7800GT 256mb

My motherboard has a PCI-E x16 1.0 slot so of course a 2.0 card wouldn't be able to peform fully, if that makes a difference?

Yes that will most definatly be enough, although above the R9 280X and GTX 770 you might want to consider a better and larger psu.
