    best gfx for around 50 quid for kids pc?

    got kids a barebones core2 duo pc from novatech reasonably priced all it needs is a half decent gfx card to go along with it to play some games, which may not be often as we have xbox 360's all over the place and are more convenient and i prefer the controller

    i see theres a few x800's around any of them moddable like the gto2 that used to go around?

    basically looking for the best bang for buck for their comp!

    Buy a good graphics card and use the XBox contoller on the PC

    Seriously the 7300GT is fine, as is the X1600pro.

    Some X800GTO's are modable, even if they're not the GTO2, but I wouldn't bank on it.

    7300GT with DDR3 memory is a very good buy - some overclock by 100% on the core.
