So, my old pc never had a graphics card, but i play League of Legends 24/7 and i get 30 fps. If i should get a graphics card which one should i get for the budget of £50.

PC Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
Motherboard: Foxconn 2ABF
Storage: 1397GB Seagate ST1500DL003-9VT16L

Yes I know that the i7 2600 is better than the fx 6300, but the fx 6300 is still a good and popular cpu, and yes I agree with the other people that getting just a new discrete graphic card instead is better, but I thought he was not a heavy gamer, he doesn't play that demanding of games... and btw you should get the r7 265 rather than the gtx 750 ti look at these benchmarks, its at the same price : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JJNQ8ZA/ref=psdc_284822_t3_B00OCFVLQG

here are the benchmarks: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2736323/graphics-card.html#16332307

They sell new 80 plus rated 300W PSUs, so it may very well be one of those.

Which would mean you can run that GT730 on the page I referenced or indeed the gtx 750ti Firepower suggested.
But the Radeon R7 250x which is second on that list, and slightly higher than your budget, would be out of your reach.

But if you have more power that might widen the search. Although, with that budget, not much.

gtx 750! i used it for league and its perfect. The best part is it can fit into your slot and you wont need to connect it to psu

My avg fps is like 200+ with everything on max. The only problem i have is blood lord vlad always fks up everyones fps with his E. Nothing too big though.

If its only for league this is the card i use. You also need a mini hdmi, or just get another card company

if you are not gonna do very very serious gaming you can try amd's A10 7850K APU, it is a cpu and gpu in one, in terms of cpu its almost as good as a fx-6300 and it can run bf4 at 1080p at med to low settings at more than 35 fps:

other benchmarks(at differents resolution):

all for 150$ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y1AJLS2/ref=psdc_229189_t2_B00H7Z7YMI

so I would imagine it to be great with LOL, and plus you can play other titles best at 720p :)

Terrible suggestion...

His i7 2600 is way better than either the 7850k or fx 6300. He just needs a gpu.

Thats fine. I still maintain changing his i7 for either of them cpus is a bad idea and a bad suggestion.

The r7 265 is a small amount better, but requires a lot more power from the PSU than the 750 ti - which could be a concern if hes using only a 300w unit.
