Integrated graphics would handle HD videos very well. Light gaming wouldn't be a problem, but it depends on how light you mean.

If you were looking at minor gaming, some of the 7750s aren't priced too badly and are very efficient.

What about a second hand 4850 or something? I think I saw a few of those one adverts a while ago.

Gefore 450? Radeon 6670 maybe?
6770 is €97 delivered.

6670 is about the €70 mark. I don't think it's great value as it's hardly gone down in price in two years or however long.
Here's some benchmarks anyway. You can choose other cards from the chart to help you with your decision.

4870s on adverts regularly go for about €50. A 6850 or 6870 should be get-able for €100.

Something like this should work very well for you , just make sure your PSU can power it though .

Question: Is the Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 450W powerful enough for this on there website they say 500w or more...

Superflower 450W is fine because it's a good PSU. They say 500W because there's plenty of 500W ones which wouldn't even be as good as a 300W PSU.

6850 is an excellent choice.
