I would recommend upgrading your PSU to a non-junk unit first before putting any more money in your system. The last thing most people want is putting in a $200 GPU only to see their PSU make the system go up in smoke.

Invalid Error is correct.

Once you have a decent power supply from tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3 of this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I'd recommend an NVidia GTX 950 which is good enough for gaming at 1080p in most current games at decent settings. I own and enjoy gaming with my i5-2500k and EVGA GTX 950 FTW. You need to keep an eye on 950 prices because they go on discount often and can be found close to the price of an Nvidia GTX 750ti.

Once you have a NVidia GTX 950 or better your CPU will be the main thing holding you back in gaming.

I have £100 left after buying the psu

was thinking of MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti Video Graphics Card OC Gaming Edition 2 GB DDR5

is this a good choice?

 

[JQB45]

for the price that is your best choice. It will play most games on high settings at 720p and some games at 1080p at medium settings.

is there a better card i can aim for that's a little higher in price or will higher cards be bottlenecked by the cpu?
