Graphics UPDATE: Best PCI-Express Graphics Card for about £60 for a friend.

UPDATE: HE IS RUNNING A BIT LOW ON CASH SO IT NEEDS TO BE ABOUT £60
My mate needs a graphics card for about £100. Probably room for a tad of lee-way. He will need pci-e and will be using it for internet, tad of gaming, messengering, graphical work. Basically, needs best bang for buck.

Please give some advice.

Specs:
E6400
1 gig of ram
17" or 19"
need any more just ask

 

A 7600GT sounds like what he could use, in that price range, can do moderate gaming.

 

£5 over budget, but they have none in stock

or a palit one from ocuk, which is in stock

7900gs definitly

 

Your best bet for £60 is to get on eBay and look for a 2nd-hand 7600GT/7900GS.

 

Agreed.

 

Get the 7900 GS if you can.

 

If you can find a good deal on a used 6800GS/GT/Ultra that could be considered also, now that the price has dropped a 7900GS is probably out of the budget.

 

have had good performance with 7900GT and now its rather low in price if u look a round
