Used to be into all this hardware shit but time's moved on and I know nothing anymore.

This is my motherboard : http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3N72D/#overview

Looks like my only option for expansion is PCIe.

I used to have an Nvidia 9800GT so I'd like something better than that, not sure of budget really... probably less than £100. It's nearly time for a whole new PC but I'm hoping a new GPU will keep the old dog ticking along for another 18 months or so.

I'd like to be able to play Rome 2/Fallout/World of Tanks at a decent spec. Thanks.

GTX 650 at around £80 or an overclocked factory setting GTX 650 about £90 but if you can stretch to it a HD7850 at £115 is better at 1080p gaming. All will give very playable frame rates at 1920x1080.

Cheers both, got a GTX 650 ti at Amazon for £72 (Inc Assassin's Creed 3). I also had a £10 voucher so £62 Smiley

Long live the TEF advice section.

GTX 650 ti is a nice card, make sure your PSU can cope with it, I would suggest a 550w but you could just about get away with a 450w if its a good 80+ efficiency one.

For future reference you can always pick up a bargain on overclockers.co.uk clearance/b grade lines.

I see they have a Gigabyte GTX 660ti OC for £90 on there right now
