Basically have a friend whos on a tight budget and is looking for a card. He wants to play the Orange Box with it. I realise he'll probably have to play on low settings but thats your task, whats the best card he could get for £50? Im thinking ebay but ideally he doesnt want to do that. So, whats the best new card he could buy for £50 and whats the best card he could get off the bay which is worth around £50. Ive been looking at the ATI 2400 series or the nvidia 7300 (or 8500 dont know).

Havent really been keeping an eye on the graphics card market recently and esspecially not budget cards so any input would be appreciated.
 
Hmm I know if he could spend more he could get better (and I can see that it is worth it) but he is pretty budget limited. Just having a look round ebay as it seems thats the only way to get a decent card cheaply.

What sort of cards are going for cheap second hand now? For example a x1800xt which is fairly similar to a 7900GT is going for quite a bit cheaper even though the performance difference isnt huge.
