Hi, as the title may suggest, I'm in search for a new graphic cards since my 2012 Radeon HD 6800 gave it up a few weeks ago. I game frequently as long if my study allows it and when I game I also enjoy some good graphics. My budget is around the ~€100 (€10-20 above it doesn't really matter). Does anyone here have some good recommendations for a graphic cards? I don't really have much knowledge on hardware so simple/readable answers are welcome :). I have put down my specs below, so I hope a newer graphics card will cooperate with my other hardware.

Current specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
RAM: 8.0 GB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
 
No doubt, get the GTX 1050 Ti. That's probably the best card for that range. It's new architecture, should be able to handle most new games, and is very power efficient. Not sure what country you are in, but that will breath some life into your build and allow you to play many new games. Mind you, this is not a high-end card, so do expect to lower settings, but can you really get upset with a inexpensive card with good quality?
 
Thanks for the recommendations already! I live in the Netherlands, so I'm not sure what the prices would be in my country :)

UPDATE: I looked around and I found a 'GeForce GTX 1050 Mini' for around €114 and a 'Evga GeForce GTX 1050 Gaming 2GB' for €122. Are these the cards you are recommending? And what is the difference between the two cards? They are both GTX 1050 but they range in price. Is the mini better/worse? Thanks for the answers so far :)
 
Hi! I guess you mean the 'Sapphire Pulse RX 560' or the 'Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 Gaming OC 2G00' ? they cost around the €110-130 around here. Is there any difference between them?
