Best GPU in the £100 range

How do they run in general? Not sure what games you play, but just a rough idea.

Also I never asked how come you dropped the 540 build?

His CPU is a 2500k so it'll hold.

It's not bad, Blops 3, on low 60fps. JC3, mixed of medium and high 60fps. It'll hit 60fps in most things with a mix of medium and low settings.

Ermm.. It leaked, after being leak tested for 24 hours as I was scared of leaks with hardline and was fine until 5 days later, it leaked over night. And I got a bit annoyed.. Put it all up for sale and now going for a tiny build that I'm able to move around as I live between houses it's just more convenient.

Those cards arent too bad then, might throw it over to him as a suggestion. I'm sure it'll run WoW at 60 easily.

Damn that sucks. Not going back to normal tubing then?

Yeah i'm surprised tbh, I borrowed it from my dad as it's great for what it is.

Nah, going to leave off the WC for a while, got a Fury X coming when I get paid and ITX Board and case from my parents for christmas so will pop everything into that.
 
The 950 looks to be slightly faster than the 370, though most of the models are quite a bit more expensive.

A used 270 would be a better option than a 370, given that card is a rebadged 7870 (as is the 270X), whilst the 370 is a 7850. Of course, finding one that's suitable is another matter if time is an issue.
 
I wouldn't bother with a used 7950/280(x) simply because by now all of them will be quite old and unlikely to last too long, so you're taking a gamble for 10-15% more performance instead of having the peace of mind of a warranty. Not only that but they're big, noisier and more power hungry while also lacking some, what I would say are now, essential features (e.g. Freesync). Plus, if your friend is asking you for advice for a GPU chances are he doesn't want any of the hassle of tinkering or checking that everything's all right. A 950 is imo a no-brainer at this budget and for WoW.
 
He has no worries with second hand, between a friend and I we have all the other components second hand for him.

I'll see what he says. He has three cards at 3 different prices so if he can squeeze the extra it'll be good for him.
