Looking for a bit of advice on a new graphics card for my desktop PC as its a minefield out there my current PC set up is as follows
Windows 7 OS Asrock 775i65 G MOBO 2GB RAM CPU Type DualCore Intel Pentium D 915, 2800 MHz (14 x 200) Processor PSU not so good 380W i have 2 spare PCI slots and a 8 AGPx8 so slightly inclined to go AGP but budget is around £50.
I need it to run Autocad, Revit 2010 and some games using the onboard just now and its not up to scratch.
my thoughts are 512MB card but this probably doesnt mean that it will be any good
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as i aint got a clue !!!!!!

And you will Need a New PSU to Power it. I Have found you a 520 Watt "Own Brand" Unit at Aria Computers Manchester Price elsewhere is £35 pounds Can you afford that? ...How about £14.21? (Has No Power lead ) But Aria sell them separately at about £2 ) Only other PSU they list with the same wattage is 64 Pounds
