GPUs like the R7 250x/360 recommendations please :)

 

edit: this is an imaginary build, and would like the budget to be £50-70 (for the GPU) however the real budget would be £150, I suppose

In would get a GTX 750 ti from zotac. you can snag them really cheap now. 

3 tips to have a good time on the LTT forums | 1. When you reply to someone please quote them | 2. Please follow your threads | 3. Follow the C.o.C 

If you follow these 3 tips you should have a blast.

i'm rather proud of this for some reason. http://imgur.com/6ttS5XZ

They are still a beast of card, and go real cheap on ebay....The lightning boost edition is the one to go for.

lol no

when you buy used you have to take a look at wat is being sold in your area and find the best card for the money you want to spend

 

you need to do this yourself

i dont live in your area

Seriously watch this video about low end GPU's. You won't regret watching it... even if your build is only imaginary.

 

 

750ti is the limit I'd say

i7 6700k  ·  Asus Z170 - A  · MSI GTX 1080 FE  ·  32gb HyperX 2133  ·  2tb Toshiba 7200 Red  ·   120gb Sandisk SSD  ·   480gb Sandisk SSD  ·  Fractal Design Define S  ·  BenQ XL2730Z 144hz 1440 Freesync

at prices under 100 I highly reccomend buying a used GPU. You will be able to get significantly more performance/dollar with a used GPU vs buying something lower-end today that is new.

oh cool, had been considering that but wasn't sure. this thread has convinced me to go for used instead! :D thanks for advice

R7 250 is super bad for gaming, probably the worst card marketed for gaming
