My 8800 gts 640mb has finally died so need a new / secondhand gfx card. My pc is oldish, Asus P5B, Q6600 @ 3200, 4 gig of ram and a decent 550w psu. Be out of the game for a few years so not sure what cards will work in my old motherboard. I see second hand Radeon HD6950 and 6970's for around the £100 mark would these be compatible with my system? Not to bothered about playing the latest games at max fps but do watch a lot of movies / series through my 40" Samsung tv.
 
A 2nd hand 6950 will be great - you'll then be bottlenecked by CPU - and then when you want more, just upgrade MB+CPU, and the 6950 will have a whole new lease of life.
