'sup PC doods. I'm wondering how much the graphics card affects game performance. I've been meaning to upgrade for awhile now since mine can't run DX11 games and I want to play some DX11 games, so if I just get a cheap one will that work fine? I don't really care about the graphics per se so if it doesn't look great oh well, will the game still run properly though or is it likely to run slower with a cheap card?

Don't go for low budget cards. Value for performance on paper its okay, but its false economy unless you like playing JUST really old games in low resolution.

Nvidia GTX1050 2GB or AMD RX560 would be a good place to start if you're on a tight budget. An extra £30-40 is well worth it unless you like playing games like they're slideshows.
