HD 7850, is a great Budget card, should be around 50 quid. maybe even a HD 6970 that's about 40 quid, just telling the best price to performance Amd cards. if you're lucky you might even snatch a HD 7870 or 7950 for 90 quid, But that is only if lucky.

In my opinion, The HD 7850 is the best card for the cheap, gives playable frames. I had a HD 7850 and i can tell you, minecraft with shaders ran 30-40 FPS 1080p, but also my CPu might have been a bottleneck, due to its age. but expect playable frames all out.

If you need help on used parts, contact me. I'm an used enthusiast.

Well... in your price range, you can't get super picky.  You can try and shoot for 4GB, but you're probably getting a 2GB card.

There's a used 750 Ti, which is probably your best option.

Of course, other good budget cards, the 660 and 660 Ti, 650 Ti (and Boost), hell, RandomGaminginHD has shown even the HD 7770 is still a surprising performer.  You won't be maxing out GTA V, but it'll get 1080p probably on low to medium settings.

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

Yea, 4Gb i doubt it, 3Gb is still possible, but 2Gb is the most likely you'll end up with. I still suggest the HD 6970 or Hd 7850
