Hi there, i recently bought a cheap refurbished HP Z400 Workstation Intel Xeon W3520 2.67GHz 14GB Ram 1TB HDD which came with a quadroon 2000 inside. Im pretty clueless when it comes to pc building, i was wondering if anyone could help with suggestions. My first move is to get rid of the quadro 2000 as it can't run many new games and with most games i need to set everything to low for FPS and still only manage about 40 FPS. I'm looking for a budget graphics card anywhere between £50-£175. At the moment i play Heroes and Generals, but restricted to certain games due to FPS cause i have a bad graphics card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

We need to know the make and model of your case and PSU before we can suggest any GPU upgrade.

Alright, well you're going to want to replace that case and PSU at the same time, but they should be fine for now. I'm a little more worried about the case than the PSU since it's going to be tough to squeeze a decent GPU in to the case, but the PSU shouldn't have a problem running a half decent modern GPU.
You could get a new, decent quality(budget) case and PSU, as well as a new GPU, but you're limited to an entry level GPU;

Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£103.14 @ Aria PC)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£28.86 @ Aria PC)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£39.89 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £171.89
This is still going to be a big upgrade over your current GPU though.
Otherwise, your budget allows for an RX 470, or even a 480;
