Hi all,
I am looking for a graphics card good for my budget which is under £100, I'm looking to be able to run current games at a decent framerate like planetside 2 at good settings.

I am hoping to get one that will be good to last until 2015-ish that won't bottle neck my system
-Amd Athlon II Quad Core
-8gb ddr3 ram
-windows 8

Btw my monitor is 1280x720
 
With that resolution and cpu, you can either get a 650 or a 7770. The 7770 performs better in some games and the 650 does in others. It's really a tradeoff. I would get the 7770, but you may prefer nvidia.
 
Yes, ps2 is a nvidia game, so you might prefer the 650 gtx, though, the 7770 is slightly better.

I'll leave the option for you.
A 7770 with two games : http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-amd-radeon-7770-hd-1ghz-1gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-864D.html
And the 650 GTX : http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0099AOAQC/

Keep in mind that you need a decent psu within 400W for those.
Also don't expect it to last till 2015(in terms of gaming performance), those are low end cards, by then they will be obsolete.
