GTX 460 is within your budget

7770 mybe? seems to perform better than a gtx650 for the same money. and often comes close to 650ti, edit ah yeh don't think overclockers have them but a 460 is a good choice if its £100

New, 7770..

Used: 480 or GTX 560ti or 6950

Used Radeon 6870 go for around £80

On the AMD/ATi side, there is this:

On the Nvidia side, there is this:

Out of the 2, I would pick the GTX 650, but up to you, and I would have a look around to see exactly what you can get for your budget. Also I presume your screen is 1280x720 or 1366x768 otherwise I think it would be advertised as "Full HD".

EDIT: I would only pick the Nvidia because I am use to Nvidia and I really like EVGA cards, but, don't quote me on this, I think the 7770 performs better.

Find out the res of your telly first.
If its an older set and has something like 1024*768 then all the 'temporary' cards people are suggesting will just be a waste of fifty quid that you could put towards a better res tv and then gpu.
Because a 6670 would do the job at that res.
