    Hello,
    So my current graphics card, which is an ancient Nvidia GT530 (5 years old at this stage!) has finally given up and i need to upgrade. I was hoping someone might be able to provide me with some suggestions about the best card to get to suit my needs.

    I do a bit of photo editing (nothing major) and a small bit of gaming (mostly Euro Truck Sim and Flight Simulator). Would be nice to play with somewhat decent FPS in them.

    My budget is €100. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Current PC Specs are:
    Make & Model: Dell XPS 8300
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 Bit)
    Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.4Ghz
    RAM: 16GB G-Skill DDR3 1600mHz
    Motherboard: Standard Dell Motherboard that came with the PC

    Used AMD HD7870 on Adverts, haggle down to around €75.

    New, a GTX1050. 2nd hand, the above is a good option and will give very good performance in those games.

    Even something like a €30-40 GTX650 is a big upgrade.
