A friend of mine need a new graphics card and has no clue which would be the best for his build, will be used for gaming.

Here is his specs,

CPU: AMD A8-6600K
RAM: 15.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
Doesn't know much about the power supply but he says its 500 watt.

Need a budget of some sort to recommend the right graphics card.

Also, what games is he going to play?

100 GBP
Just for general gaming but he's not really bothered about playing in ultra.

I suggest saving up a bit to get a more worth while GPU. 130GBP should be enough.

Ask him if hes looking to get a new rig. That APU will need to be upgraded soon too

Its going to fine playing low end games such as Minecraft, League of Legends, but if he decides to move on to the more harder to run games such as BF4, Day-z [Un-optimized as hell] and so on, then that APU isnt going to cut it.
