Hi.

None, below 100-150 pound Nvidia has nothing worthwhile.

For around 50 pound you can have a HD6670, only without knowing your system it's hard to give a solid advice.

^+1
Also, if you're going to play games on the system we'll need to know the monitor resolution (not size) and exactly which powersupply it has.

There is no nvidia *gaming* card under 50 pounds.
If you find a card with 1GB memory and "gaming" on the box, it is still not a gaming card.

^ Depends on what you're playing 😉

System as it stands now is:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
MSI 760GM-P23
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB

The game am building this based around is Skyrim.

All I need is a card that will run Skyrim for the time being am upgrading to a higher spec system next year sometime so I'll have like 4times more to spend on it this is just a for the time being thing.

Thanks Rob I have been looking at that one lately myself.

How much would I be looking at spending if I was to get a decent graphics card. The brand doesn't matter now I just want it so there's enough grunt and whatever else so it will run skyrim smoothly and be able to handle HD texture mods.

If you want to play high resolution games at respectable frame rates you need at least a http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards+-+GPUs/Graphics+Cards+-+NVIDIA/GeForce+GTX+550+Ti/ASUS+GeForce+GTX+550+Ti+1024MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=47113 GTX550ti which is of £89.

Answer: I wouldn't spend anything lower than $150USD (~ £115).

Something like this ; http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards+-+GPUs/Graphics+Cards+-+AMD/Radeon+HD+7850/XFX+Core+Edition+Radeon+HD+7850+1024MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=51844

Better than the 6670 is the 7750 which goes for around 70 pound. Than the 7770 for around 100, then the 7850.

You didn't tell us your psu specs though so maybe you can't run the 7850 without upgrading your psu.
