Best graphics card for HD video editing?

i am going to be buying a new desktop pc in the next month, it will be used for HD video editing using programs such as After effects, sony vegas etc and also photoshop.i will not be playing any games on the system. the only pc's i could find in my price range didn't have very good graphics card as i have heard the amd radeon 6450 is not very good for my needs and integrated graphics are also not very good. Therefore i am going to buy a new graphics card and would like to hear some recommendations on what graphics card i should get. My max budget for the graphics card is £110 which is around $180.



any help will be appreciated

Thanks|||The graphics card is nearly irrelevant for After Effects. Spend you money on RAM and hard disks, not a fancy graphics card. RAM and hard disks are _much_ more important for overall performance.



See this video for an explanation of what the graphics card does for After Effects:

E.g. NVIDIA, Zotac, EVGA etc. Cost little more than 180$ (used ~200).|||Minimum System Requirements
