new Card advice

[Claire Drew]

Looking to upgrade my graphics card in 2 weeks. Will be used in a media system but I enjoy playing some games when the oppertunity arrives.

I have been looking at the ATI 4670 with direct HDMI output to plug into my Samsung LCD. Main use will be to watch films on 40" LCD.

I dont want to spend over £60 inc vat but wounderd if I would get a much better second hand card for my cash and accompanied with the dongle to enable HD output to TV?

Anyone got any suggestions?

4670 would be good for HD video & some games. But, if you can stretch your budget you can get this new!
