Trying to make a mid range Gaming PC. Have what's listed below but unsure on what graphics card to get. Any ideas budget £80 been looking around the HD 7770 mark but if i get the HD 7750 i can run it crossfire with my APU. or just get a decent 6670 which also can run crossfire with my APU and save £££ for a SSD. Also im not fussed about ridiculous graphics just a decent Frame Rate would be nice with medium quality settings. What do we think ???
 
If I'm not mistaken, that psu isn't a good brand. I'd probably sort that out first. An example of a good choice would be something like a corsair, seasonic or enermax.

The 7750 isn't a good match for the APU for dual graphics as it vastly outperforms it, and the 6670 is pretty obsolete now. I'd be inclined to wait until you can get the 7850 (£110ish), as it's much better than the 7770 for not a lot extra.
 
Not being funny or anything but I did ask what was the best graphics card for Under £80. I didn't ask about my PSU or about any other graphics card above £80. Theses are as stated underneath my signature... In Progress...

Here :) can you not CF with a 7770? its a shame as there is one for £72.

Edit- if your looking at others make sure its "GDDR5" not "GDDR3"
 
I think you might get a bit less than mid range with a 7750. I would really consider getting a used 6950, 7790 (I see one for £80 on a popular used site) or a 7850 at a squeeze for £85 mate if I were you.

You might have a better balance in your system if you consider a Hybrid SSHD instead of a SSD if you're on a budget. That way you can have a bit better graphics card and PSU to make the system a lot better overall. There is a 1TB one on offer this week for 66.95 or a 500GB laptop thin one for £56 but the 1TB looks like better value for money.

I know your stuck tight to that budget, but looking at this card you would be be mad to miss out for a mere 10 pounds extra on this deal.
And if you take into account you will get game keys with it, sell them re-make the extra cash back. A 7850 2gb for your budget (i paid 230 for mine new:eek:) And you would be able to game at higher settings no probs with this to.

EDIT: Those game keys will run out of stock quickly i imagine just a heads up at this price.
