Im currently upgrading a pc for someone, a Skt 754 2800+ Sempron, 7600GT AGP, 1Gb ddr1. Also have a decent PSU, think its an Antec in the region of 4-500W.

Already got a cheap DS3, 4Gb Patriot 800mhz for £20, and im looking to add a E5200 and a half decent cooler to it but still trying to choose a gfx for it

Looking for this to play Empire Total War at the most, around 1024x768 / 1280x1024, nothing on high settings really

Can't really decide what would be best really though, been looking at

7600
7900
8600
8800
9600
3850
4670

Best I've come across so far really is a 256mb Leadtek WinFast PX8600GT TDH for £30 or so on the bay (looking to keep the costs down quite a lot ^^) Been looking new and used ofc.

Other option is I hand over my 8800 gts to this, and get a new card for my machine - would that be worth it? Im playing at 1680x1050 now on a 22" widescreen, and my card is a 320mb iirc.

thanks
 
..or GTS250 for 87 quids. Otherwise - as a budget-efficient card I'd recommend 8800GS 384 MB. Bought for 31 pounds a week ago on Ebay.
