    Here's a newer alternative, although the lowest price models are just over the £100 limit: GTX 1050.

    Example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Geforc...words=gtx+1050

    I'm not sure, but it may be the best graphics card you can buy that doesn't need an auxiliary PCI-E power connector. It's also a current model, so it may have driver support for a long time.

    However, it really wants a 300W PSU or better. You seem to have never checked what's in the DT1404. (Every PSU I have seen has a sticker giving its ratings. The sticker is not always readable with the PSU installed in the case.) I strongly recommend that you give it a look. Otherwise, the advice you're getting is of limited value.

    I would get the GDDR5 version :)

    You want to do gaming on a Pentium G620 @ 2.60GHz with 4 GB RAM @ 531MHz.
    That CPU has a PassMark rating of 2301.
    I guess you only want to play hearts and solitaire?

    Hey, my favorite games. (Windows 7 versions, of course. The Win 10 versions are always pushing online play.)

    Along with no PSU information, the OP hasn't mentioned any particular games.

    I believe that a Passmark rating of 2300 puts it in the mid range. (Comparable to some Core 2 Duo CPUs.) The OP doesn't seem to be fantasizing that the desktop will be transformed into a gaming monster by the addition of an £50 graphics card. (Or so I hope.)

    Snark is good fun, but pointless except for your own entertainment.

    He can probably get an i5 2400 and a GTX 1050 and call it a day.
