    Hi,
    I have a basic PC system with following specs

    AMD A8 7650K Quad Core Processor
    8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
    MSI A68HM GRENADE uATX Motherboard
    500W PSU

    I am looking for a mid range GPU - single slot- GDDR5 with at least 1 GB

    I have hooked my PC to my 50" TV so it would be great if it supports a resolution of 1920 x 1080

    Budget : around EUR 100 give or take

    Looking forward to any recommendations

    New = €115-ish

    "Used" (basically a product returned to Amazon's warehouse) = €105-ish

    Its dual slot, single slot cards a pretty rare though

    500w will push any card up as far as a 970, 750Ti is the best for the money, just a 750 if you want a new one

    Just be aware that the 7650K will bottleneck even a GTX750Ti in some games like a mofo. Fallout 4 is one examle where the A8/A10's are very slow.
