Hi Guys. I have recently had my pc replaced through warranty and the graphics card that comes with it is very basic and done a search on this forum and only bad things were said.

the pc(i know it aint a flying machine)
AMDx2 4800+
2gb ram
320gb hdd
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics card
dvdrw rom

Basically what i want to use it for is backing up blu ray discs and also use it for watching them on my hdtv.

I may get 2gb more of ram and am looking to get a blu ray burner but the only thing i need to know is what type of card should i be getting as i am totally lost at this part.
I only want to spend £50-60 and was looking at this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1GB-nVidia-GeForce...id=p3286.c0.m14

but someone said about a 8800 or 4850 but these seem a bit pricey.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
(sorry if this should be in the build section)

If you're a gamer, you will want something as good as the HD4850, but that will cause a problem for a prebuilt PC as the power supply won't be capable enough. A basic card like an 8600GT will do fine though, and will certainly be far better than the 6150SE.

Also, that card is overpriced, you shouldn't be paying more than £30 for an 8400GS, they're rubbish and the only sell for that much in proper stores...
