Hi everyone, just bought and built my first ever rig.
But for now I am on Integrated Graphics, with no dedicated GPU!

My Specs:

AMD Athlon II X3 3.10GHz unlocked 4th Core.
2 x 2GB DDR3 Dual Channel
450w Non-Branded PSU (Came with Case)
160GB Hard Drive (Old School)
Windows 7 Prof

Now all I am wanting to do is play World of Warcraft, Eve Online possibly.
I want a budget GPU that is not going to cost me a arm and a leg.

Also would it be possible to OC my Integrated GPU? Its a 760G
Any advice please?
Kris.

What resolution do you tend to game at? Budget? I know you said "not an arm and a leg" but that could mean many things to many people.

Specifically for WOW, 9800GT would be "ok" (ideally should get at least a 4870/5770/GTX260).

If your looking for something < £50 I would look at getting a second-hand graphics card. 9800 would set you back around £40.

Second hand GTX 260 for around £65-70.

Or new XFX Radeon HD4850

Remember WoW is quite CPU dependent so overclocking cpu will help.
