If you want a GPU that doesn't break the bank though... I wouldn't go any lower than a Geforce 1030/Radeon 550 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, those cards are pretty potent at 720P... And with lighter games (I.E. Overwatch) being playable at 1080P.

If you want us to give you better advice though... We will need to know your hardware specifications to better guide you to the right hardware.

So something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-PH-GT1030-O2G-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B0727WGG3F/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1515894320&sr=8-2&keywords=geforce+1030

That doesn't seem too bad price wise to me. Can't comment on my hardware specs though, I don't remember them off the top of my head and I don't have access to my PC at the moment. I'm pretty sure my processor is less than 3ghz though and I've got 8GB of RAM.

How much are you looking to spend?
What games are you looking to play?

Something around £60-£70 like the one posted above would probably be affordable, although of course I'd prefer cheaper if possible. As for games, I mainly want to play Total War: Warhammer and Civilization VI.

That card is fine for Total War and Civilization. It's around the Xbox One in terms of capabilities.

I should reinforce that when I meant a 3Ghz CPU, I meant for an old CPU like a Core 2 Quad... So something like an old Sandy Bridge chip could operate at a much lower speed and have equivalent performance.

Feel free to post later with your complete hardware specs. :)
