Hi,
I am upgrading my Monitor from a Samsung T220 which is from the plug and play era and without any driver support for Windows 10. I have ordered an LG 25" ultra wide monitor that supports 2560 x 1080 from Amazon but am conscious my graphics card may not be up to the job. It's a Sapphire RADEON HD 4650 graphics card with just 512 MB of memory. I don't really play games as PC is mostly for office work but would want to watch hd video. I have a 450 Watt psu and a single PCIe 2.0 x16 slot available with reasonable amount of room. I lean towards getting a DDR5 card as could then migrate to a new higher spec custom build in the future. My budget is up to £100, any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply richiestang_78, funnily enough the very card I have sitting in my Amazon basket! The other option I was considering was the MSI GeForce GT 730 Kepler GDDR5 2GB.
