Looking for a good, cheap gaming graphics card!

thenemesis360 · Jul 19, 2015

Hello! thankyou for reading this thread! I play world of warcraft, a graphic intensive program, and I can run on around 40 FPS on the lowest settings. However I want to buy a new graphics card as I have the onboard one at the moment, and it isn'tmuch good. My computer is hp compaq 8200. I have a budget of around £30, however I could stretch to around £45, any help would be great just looking for a good graphics card to run medium ish settings on good FPS! Thankyou! Btw my slot is PSi I think

Is this the small form factor one? Take a picture of the back of the case if possible

If you have space for a full size card you can get a R7 250 FOR £47 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/b00fsc513g/geizhals07-21/ref=nosim?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Otherwise a R7 240 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Radeon-GDDR5-Graphics-Boost/dp/B00FL8GW1W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437329963&sr=8-1&keywords=r7+240

edit: changed the 240 to the DDR5 version, the DDR3 isn't very good

With such a small budget the ONLY good option would be to get the GT 730 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Nvidia-Gt730-Graphics-PCI-E/dp/B00LN51ZBE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1437329700&sr=8-4&keywords=gt+730+1gb+gddr5

This one will run WoW on high for sure

This card also consumes very little power so you shouldnt worry about your power supply at all

Cheers

There are several variants of the Compaq 8200.
If it is a slim unit, you will need a low profile graphics card.
Regardless, A GT730 should be better. Buy only the 64 bit version which is actually faster than the 128 bit version.
Here is one:
