I've just bought a replacement motherboard for my old desktop PC and need a new GPU. What would be a good match with an Intel Q6600, 4GB Ram (800mhz) machine. I had a 8800GT back in the day but I sold it. Is that a decent GPU for this level of stuff?

My budget is <£50 (70-80USD) and I've no quams buying used. Just looking an indication of where to look (i.e. ATI/NVideo and possibly a range to look at)

Yeah there's some decent ones on ebay but they're ALL auctions. What's the equivalent Nvidia card to that thing?

This is probably the most GPU you'll get for that money:

Yes, there's an MSI for a couple of quid less, but this just pushes you over the £50 needed for free 5 day delivery.

Had a look on ebay for you, and I didn't see anything that stood out in that price range.

I found this which gave the the sort of anchor I was looking for. That 6670 looks like the one to be, I might spend a few more quid on a better make though.

Cheers for the help.

edit: Looks like ebuyer want £10 for delivery. I'll look elsewhere.
