Suitable gpu to replace igpu in my computer

Foaly97

So i'm using my igpu while my gtx 1070 is mining which makes it unusable to everyday work loads and i was just wondering what cheap nvidia gpus would be good just for running a 1440p monitor which is something my motherboard is incapable of doing with the igpu its an msi gaming 5 but refuses to support 1440p on dvi. A mate offered to sell me an asus gtx 1050 2gb for £65 do you think this is a decent price and also do you think i could use it for mining as well when i'm not just using my computer?

I think that 70 pounds is good for a 1050. I wouldn't mine on it unless you have free power.
