New build - GPU?

[The23rdman]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I'm currently sourcing components for a build to run CS5 and LR3. I have the following so far:

AMD Athlon II X4 635 Quad Core 2.9GHz Socket AM3

Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3) uATX DDR3 Mobo

OCZ StealthXStream2 500w Silent ATX2 Power Supply 80PLUS

Corsair XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM Desktop Memory CMX4GX3M2A1600C9

1TB Western Digital WD10EALS Caviar Blue, SATA 3Gb/s, 7200rpm, 32MB Cache

I was planning on adding a GPU later and using the onboard for now, but realise I'm going to lose as lot of performance this way. I'm working on a budget so would appreciate some advice on maybe a used GPU suitable for the work I want to do that's not going to cost a fortune.

Many thanks,
Dean

Ideally I'd like to keep it as close to 50 quid as possible.

I'm perfectly happy with second-hand and realise that's the way to go on my budget. Thanks for the advice.

MM? Sorry, new here.

Ooops, sorry, guys. I didnae know.

Sorry for such a thread revival, guys, but I've only got around to considering a card now. A pal has offered me one of these for 35 quid. Is it good enough to make a difference? So far I've been fairly unimpressed with the speed of my new build and assume this can only be down to the lack of a GPU.

I could stretch further but have a lot of photography related outlay atm to cover. So this will make a difference for now? I can always upgrade further a little later. I only need it for LR3 and CS5. Never game and never do 3-d rendering.
