Graphics card replacement

[Wishdom]

Hi guys,

I've been getting bsod about my display driver falling to reset. Reinstalling the diver did not help.

Long story short, I now need to find a replacement for my old ati radeon R5450 graphics card. 1gb DDR3.

What's a cheap and good replacement?

Budget ?

This is my current computer specs

CPU-lga 1155 Intel i3-2100 3.10 GHz 3mb

Mb-1155 biostar h61mlv

Ram ddr3 Kingston 4gb 1333 mhz

Hdd 3.5 sata3 wd caviar 2tb 64 mb

Drv-dvdrw sata asus 24x
Drw- 24 b1st/24 b3st/blk

I don't know much about computers so I won't know how much is a good budget.
I just need something compatible and good enough to watch YouTube at 1080p and play Dota 2.
Something as cheap as possible hopefully..

R7 260x should be good, but some $80 used gfx can be very good spec

How much is a R7 260x? can I get one from challenger or is there a better place to get it from?
Is a used graphics card reliable? Where can I get a used one from?

This guy mentioned can find R7 260x at $135 actually a good deal , rather than buy used worry abt problem. 260x is enough for u to play dota2 in mid setting

Er, I thought I saw some guy mentioned that my built in one is okay. Is that true?

One more question, is the R7 260X better than ati radeon R5450?
I can just slot it into my motherboard right?

By the way, thanks a lot to SEvsNK and Goodshot

Yep confirm better

The HD 7850 already better than your 5450, but you need to check your power supply, recommend at least 450watts to be on the safe side.

The onboard one actually can adjust resolution , can be very clear but no power to run game at all , maybe minesweeper

500w is enough , the card eat 150 max + ur system total 300+ max

Is it worthwhile to buy GTX750 Twin Frozr OC 1GB now to swap my current one?

The latest model is too expensive for me.
