Hi
Basically my Dad wants a graphics card for his computer because he runs a radio control helicopter flight simulator game/program. He's using the built-in ATI graphics chip at the moment so the graphics are looking pretty bad so he wants a dedicated card so he can run the game at a better quality. I said that I will give him the one that is currently in my computer (which is a Radeon HD 3850 256MB) and I will buy a new one (probably a GTX 260). But he will also need a new power supply for the computer to run the graphics card. His system spec is:
Athlon 64 3200+ 2GHz CPU (single core of course)
2GB DDR1 memory
Not sure about the motherboard and I think it's a 350W power supply in there at the moment but it has no PCI connectors and it probably isn't powerful enough.
Could you recommend something cheap and reliable that has the PCI connectors and costs between £40-£50?
Thanks for your help.
