Graphics Card upgrade €100-150

    Current setup:
    -8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9
    -ASRock Z68 Pro3 (B3), Sockel 1155, ATX
    -Bitfenix Shinobi
    -Intel Core i5-2500K Box, LGA1155
    -Samsung SpinPoint F3 1000GB
    -Samsung SyncMaster B2230H
    -Sapphire HD6870 1G GDDR5
    -Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 550W

    My graphics card recently died and I need to get a new one. I still game a small bit but it's not as big a priority as it used to be, so I'm only looking to spend about €100 to €150 (with a small bit of wiggle room) on the new card.

    It seems like the obvious choices are a 460 or a 1050, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to decide between the two, and I don't know which is better value for money. Also, I'm not sure what's the best place to buy from these days - amazon?. And lastly, would going for a 4gb card over a 2gb one give me a bit more future proofing or is it a waste of money for gaming?

    Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
