I have an old PC with a Radeon HD 5450 2GB GPU which I would like to upgrade. I have an Intel DG35EC motherboard which I think has a PCI Express V.1.1 x16 slot, although I'm not 100% sure. I was wondering if there are any GPUs available now which will be compatible and will have a better performance that my current GPU?

I want something which isn't too expensive and will be able to run relatively basic games, even if it's at low graphical settings.

Thanks in advance :)

Wouldn't using PCIe 1.1 bottleneck the performance of the newer GPUs?

My power supply unit is a casecom ATX 500W. And im not looking to spend a lot, just so it can run some standard games, which looking at my specs it should really run already, around £40-50 max.
 


Radeon R7 250 is the best performance in your budget range. It has better performance than the GeForce GT 730 / GeForce GT 640.
