I would recommend the GTX 750 Ti SC. It is pretty cheap, but it is a great Graphics Card. If you are sticking to your budget, this is only £92. Here is a link to several graphics cards recommended for HTPC builds, including the GTX 750 Ti SC previously mentioned.

Are you playing video games on it? Then a R7 260X or GTX 660

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
