Best Possible GPU Upgrade Options (Considering my GPU)

[CustomPCMan]

Hi,
Four Years ago i built my own budget gaming PC with a Pentium D and a GTX 260. They still run fine, its just that I want to be playing COD Ghosts when it comes out. So . . . Can I play Ghosts on this build? Should I upgrade my GPU?
PS - My budget is £100

Try it, and see how you do. I suspect not well.

Your pc is old, and can be matched today with a $50 cpu and a $100 graphics card.

Well a Pentium D might of been decent four years ago but, in the modern day I seriously doubt you will be able to support a modern Gaming GPU.
If you're budget is £100 that is plenty enough to get a decent CPU and GPU. Get these:

This Build will run COD Ghosts at 30+ FPS on medium Settings

Thanks! A good answer for once. Will this actually run ghosts at medium settings.

Yes. But don't expect miracles. The CPU is good for budget gaming rig, and so is the GPU. But they are both pretty low end so you will definitely be able to play it, but it will be on medium settings.
