So want a better one than the, but not too expensive, around £50?

I think that is okay. I don't know much about PC components but I remember the 8800GT being pretty decent when it came out. I just went on Overclockers and ordered by price, has pretty good reviews too, but maybe wait until an expert posts instead of just me haha

Your still kidding right? unless you mean the 9800GTX+, and even still, the HD 4850 is slightly better (and cheaper)

and zen, the 256mb 8800GT is much faster than the 9500GT, and they are pretty much the same price.

graphic cards work with any computer right?

so its not like RAM where you have to get a specific one for your computers model

btw i know about PCI and the other one

 

[RedDragonX]

As long as you have the required PCI-E or PCI/AGP slot then yes, judging your PSU has the 4/6 pin connector if needed.

ok , seeing as my graphics card is ****ed up and only shows lines across the monitor ( i think its because of the gfx card :P )

well i bought this gfx card
