PC died, any advice?

[Ja'chyra]

Got another question for all those that know more than me about computers, which really narrows it down. Any advice for a relatively good, cheap graphics card, say under £50?

My plan now is to buy a new tower and motherboard in the next two months and move over the rest of my components then gradually update, but in the mean time I need something to do otherwise I could be forced to talk to the Mrs and that is never good. So, if I get a decentish card I reckon I can eke another couple of months out of the old rig without having to stump up £1k now

So I had a look at Novatech and Toms hardware and he recommends the ATI 5670 which I can get from Novatech for £60, slightly overbudget but it seems to be considerably better than the Nvidia 8800 GTS that just died, so it might give me more time before I need to upgrade again rather than a really cheap card.

Hmm... I always judge prices based on Newegg.com, but they are USD-only. 50GBP is about 80USD. It is much easier to find a good card at sub-80USD than sub-50USD, so I searched based on the conversion rate rather than dollar-for-pound. My pick would be the EVGA GF9500GT 1GB. A stupidly good price on a solid 1GB card, which will certainly hold you over for a few months. Then again, I'm a Nvidia fanboy, so I never even look twice at ATI cards.
