    GPU to pair with with a Pentium G860

    I'm looking for a graphics card that will go well with a g860 playing games at 1680x1050. Will a Radeon 7770 be OK or should I be looking at a better card? I'm willing to spend around £100 on the graphics card new or used if its an upgrade over the 7770.

    Do you already have the G860??

    For a few quid over £100 you can get a GTX650TI which is generally a faster card,although an HD6870 or a GTX560 can be a bit quicker in several titles.On of those secondhand might be worth considering too if well under £100. For around £120 you can get an HD7850 1GB which is quicker.

    I've already built the system with £80 left for the graphics card. I'm willing to stretch to £100 but anything more isn't going to happen lol. I'm open to buying a quality second hand gpu, but atm on ebay, the 6870 & 560 are both going for over £100 used.
