So whats the best graphics card for £100 for PCIe x16
My specs

Motherboard: asus p8h61-mx
Processor: intel celron G530 clocked @ 2.4GHz
Ram: Rip Jaw 6GB 240PiN DDR3 @ 1337
Graphcs: intel graphic 2000
Hardrive: western digtal cavitar blue 500GB, samsung spinpoint 1TB 7200RPM
PSU: 300W

( i know i will have to upgrade the PSU as its to weak to run a good graphics card)!

Also i need one that supports 2 monitors not fussed about the input :)
 
I would just go second hand and get something high-end, but from a previous gen. E.g. a GTX 480/470. You could probably get one with a water block for around £80. Also, I don't like putting a new gen GPU in an older rig. I've had problems doing that before.

Also valid point.

Best case scenario AMD side is a 6870 / 5870 or maybe if really lucky a 6950.
 
Can you not stretch a little bit?

For £20 more a 1Gb 7850 is much faster than a 1Gb 7770

Was gonna say pretty much this.

To get me going, I picked up a 2nd hand 5870 for under £100 and was very happy with it.
I'd really look at stretching a little for that 1Gb 7850 at least if you're not too keen on buying used. It'll use a lot less power too.
