    Budget say 100 euro or cheaper even if possible. Don't mind if it's second hand. Will be gaming off a 60 inch 720P TV.

    Curgent PC
    I5 4460
    8gb Ram
    Corsair vs 550w

    Probably a GTX 750ti.

    Wow, that must be an old TV. If so, the refresh rate might not be good enough for gaming?

    New, GTX1050 for €110-120 - about 50% faster than the GTX750ti which still goes for €70-80 2nd hand which isn't worth it when you already have a decent power supply (usually people pick 750Ti cos it works with low wattage supplies with no pci-e connectors).

    2nd hand - GTX770 or HD7970 are solid bets and would still perform very well at 720p for €80-100.

    Gtx 1050 it is as would like the warranty as had to RMA my 970 a few months ago and was gaming on a 24 inch 1440P monitor.(would let go for 100 if anyone is interered).

    TV is 5 or 6 years old, just after moving into a house share and no room in my box room for desk etc.

    I will download half life 2 and see how it goes on the TV.

    From 1440P to 720P will be a major step down.😣😣😣

    R9 270X - €70 with 2 year warranty from CEX :)

    Almost identical to the GTX1050 performance wise and would still run most things at 720p high/ultra and is more wallet friendly (though uses a lot more power).

    Another option is the RX460, that's about €90 new and still reasonably good for 720P ( sort of in between GTX750Ti and GTX1050).
