Hi there guys and girls its been a while since i was lurking around here (maybe 2-3 years ago when i built my pc)

the build was only for editing pictures and astro images at first but now ive got right into the game rust on steam, im loving it but my onboard gpu is not handling things very good, i need to turn all the graphics settings all the way down to 0 to be able to play and would just like some help choosing the right gpu for me.

I have got £100 to spend and just by a random search have come across this for £100, what do you think?
{REMOVED}
ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card
Product code: 098451

here is the spec of my pc also

- windows 7 home
- gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP mobo
- intel i5 4670k
- patriot venom red 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3 PC3 memory
- corsair carbide 300R mid tower case
- corsair builder series CX 500w modular power suplly
- cooler master hyper 212 evo cpu cooler

i think thats all of it...... any suggestions for my setup in the price range of under £100 would be great as i have not got the foggiest when it comes to this stuff lol, i wouldnt have even thought about building a pc if it was not for this amazing place, thanks again :)

Was it new? secondhand? If secondhand I'd look for an AMD card as I imagine you can find 290's and 290x's for under 100 now-a-days. One of those would certainly be a better option. If you do go AMD do not get a reference model, Look for a Sapphire one as they tend to be the best.
