Budget PC - Need help on graphics card

[MrChris]

Hey there folks,

So my sister has asked me to build a PC for my nephew for christmas, He wants it mainly for gaming. The problem is im on a bit of a budget, around £200-£300 which sucks!

So my question to you guys is:

what graphcis card can i get thats any good at a half decent price?

Regards,

Chris.

cheap but decent, maybe a 9600 pro? or a used 9800 pro perhaps

that's not a bad budget.... you could go with a vanilla 6600 or like doox said a used 9600/9800... but for future game support and about the same speed but sm3.0 support... also you could try an x600 or x700 (bit more expensive though)

I think that is the budget for the whole computer. Get a used Radeon 8500

Oh come on people, the budget is £300, you can get a 6600GT for £89 which is a great card for the money: It will run Doom3 and Far Cry for you at ~50fps
