Video card advice

[Jawloms]

Hi all,

 

At home I have an i5 (2nd gen) with 12GB of RAM and a Geforce 8800GT in it. My son plays minecraft, robocraft and scrap mechanic, my daughter plays the Sims 4, and that's about all it gets used for. The video card has just died. I have a very tight budget and am not sure what to replace it with. I'm quite happy with second hand from ebay. Might I get something for £30 - £40? If so, what? Another 8800GT?

 

Thank you

 

Stuart

Have a look, all come with 2 year warranty too IIRC

5850 is a good shout, still pretty capable

How about this?

Looks like a good deal and will be miles better than the 8800.
