Value for money graphics card

sn3eky · Oct 22, 2014

Hello, I'm looking to get an nvidia PCI-E graphics card upgrade.

My currect specs:
PSU: Corsair 650w
CPU: Intel i5-750 3.6GHz (overclocked)
MB: GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4
SSD: Samsung 120GB
RAM: Corsair 6GB DDR3
GPU: nVidia GTS 250
Monitor: Asus 24" + Samsung 22"

I'm not looking for a graphics card that will run all games in ultra settings as I would prefer to spend no more than £50, however I want something that is a lot better than my current GPU as I haven't upgraded in about 4 years. I've been upgrading my PC bit by bit on a budget and it's going pretty good so far.

I have been looking around and trying to compare graphics cards but I don't understand it fully so needed some help.

If I could get it cheap and from Amazon that would be more ideal as I have Amazon prime and I wouldnt need to pay for next day delivery.

Thanks guys/gals.

How much do you have to spend?

Novuake :

I didn't want to spend more than £50, I did put that in my original post

Apologies, Somehow missed it.

50Quid is not much, STRONGLY suggest you get a little more going.

For a decent upgrade, like the GTX750 ti, you need a good 120Quid

check the prices of the available gpu, though with that price, i am not sure what is better than a gts250. i would recommend a 750Ti but that is more than you are willing to spend

Novuake :

I see what you're saying and I have looked at the GTX 750 Ti, but I don't need a brand new GPU. I just need an upgrade from my 2009 graphics card. I only play World of Warcraft and I currently run it in low/fair settings. I won't be changing these settings I just want to upgrade. I was hoping there would be a cheap option as I'm paying out my arse for all sorts of things at the moment (Birthdays + christmas). I could go to £70 but I'm wanting to spend some money on a decent computer desk aswell but I'll be spending more than £70 on that.

The thing is getting anything less than the GTX750 ti is not a significant enough upgrade to warrant spending that money, at LEAST look at the GTX750 (non ti).

But even the GTX750ti struggles a bit at 1080p in most games.

Novuake :

right, I get what you're saying because for another £30 on top of that I could get the GTX 750ti. I'll wait for another month till my finances are better and I'll upgrade to the GTX 750ti.

Thanks for the help. good advice

No problem.

Spending less does not always mean cost effective, unfortunately.
