Hiya, I'm looking to get a new graphics card. The only newish games I'm likely to play are Civilization and CSGO.

I only play CSGO at 1280x1024 with the lowest graphics settings and will never go above this. I play civ at native resolution (1920x1080).

I can't remember exactly what my psu spec is but I know it's at least 650w modular (bequiet brand).

Other components:
2x 4gb Kingston hyperX
ASUS p8p67 pro Rev 3.1
i5-2500k 3.3 ghz

Ideally I'd like to spend no more than £100, the cheaper the better! Also I'm in the UK and would prefer to use overclockers (or eBuyer). cheers

That card will do untill you save enough money for a stronger GPU.The 2500K could handle a GTX 970,which is by far the best card you can get for the money.
Getting a GTX 750 Ti/R7 260X will practically be a waste of money,because all three cards give about the same performance.
Yeah I would just wait but my current card is giving me a lot of problems. Thanks a lot for the advice guys. I'm going to go for the 260x due to the price and because of overclockers customer service. Cheers!
