I'm looking to upgrade a space PC with a new graphics card, I'm not looking for anything high end as I'm only really going to use it for WOW and Old Republic and not fussed about maxing the settings.

I've seen an old 4850 on ebay for £45 but was wondering if I could go cheaper and still get a reasonable result with maybe a 5450 or anything else someone could suggest?
 
What PSU and case have you got? The 4850 will be much better than the 5450, which is barely better than the onboard when it comes to gaming. Looking at completed listings, a 4850 shouldn't cost you more than £30-35 tops from the auction site.

9600GT / 240 would do the trick also. I sold a 4890 Vapor-X a year or so ago for about £70.

Edit: 250 not 240
