Looking for a somewhat decent graphics card.
I currently use an interested gpu.

My budget is 60-70 and off Amazon preferably or a reputable website
My psu is 600w.

Sapphire Radeon r7 270x? Is that decent?
I've seen a few on Amazon and reviews are good but I'd like your opinions.

This is only temp and I will after Christmas be upgrading to a more expensive one.

Any ones you recommend?

onboard graphics.

Christmas is only a few weeks away. Anything on that budget will be poo unless its 3/4/5.. hand

IMO, wait it out, save your money and get a decent GPU at Christmas.

If you're adamant...

Get a 2nd hand 660 off of eBay. They are great cards still and should last you till you can upgrade.

Yeah I would but I'm also upgrading other parts so it's going to add up. At this point I just want to get it up to somewhat decent then go from there

If it's only for a fill in, why not?

For £60 you won't get the latest and greatest, but it will get you a card that will play games at nice settings at 1080p... Can't see a reason not to really.

But fi you want new, you're really going to be losing a lot of performance.
