Would anybody be able to suggest to me a good Desktop PC for ETS 2 on a tight budget, like around £500/$800/€615 or less?

I currently own a VAIO laptop:

- i5 3210M @2.5 - 3.1 GHz
- 4GB RAM
- Intel 4000HD graphics
- 750GB HDD

I currently play other games such as TS2014, so I don't want to drop in clock speed, if anything I want to gain a bit to play most things comfortably. Despite my integrated graphics, ETS 2 is the only game (weirdly) which I own that my PC sometimes (such as in tunnels) struggles to run. I would like more RAM, definitely, and I'm quite flexible on hard drive, but I would like a decent GPU!

Thanks if anyone can help!

My PC specs. Not very good but good enough to play ETS with ProMods and Jazzycats Trailer & Cargo pack on ultra (high with more mods) with 25-30 FPS.

Desktop:
-Intel i5 2400 @ 3,1 GHz Processor
-4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
-Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 Videocard
-ASRock P67 Pro3 Motherboard
-256 GB Samsung SSD (forgot the name)
-2 TB Western Digital HDD (forgot the name)
-Windows 7 Pro

Currently he's in repair because of (probably) the motherboard.

Laptop specs: (2011 MacBook White)

-2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
-5 GB DDR3 1067 MHz SO-DIMM RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
-250 GB HDD
-OS X 10.9.3 (Mavericks)

My specs:
Processor: intel i7-4770 @ 3400GHz
videocard: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4GB GDDR5
ram: corsair vengeance 16gb 1600MHz
motherboard: asus Z87-A

My, now 6 yr old PC with the exception of GFX which i bought a year ago;

Processor: i7 930
RAM: 8 Gigs
MoBo: Intel DX58SO
GPU: Nvidia GTX650 2GB
PSU: CM Extreme Power Plus 600W
HDD: 500GB (OS) 3TB (Storage)
Monitor: 20" Samsung LCD
OS: Win 7 x64

Played most of the 2012-2013 games on High Settings. Since 2014, just hooked up to ETS2 and TS2014. Wish I had a friend in US, could have bought EVGA 660 2GB for the price I paid to get a Galaxy GTX650GC 2GB.

Just over a year ago, I bought a Zoostorm PC for around £400, quad core CPU, 8gb RAM, and also got a Radeon HD 7790 1gb graphics card for £80. And it all runs ETS2 brilliantly . The most important thing for me was the graphics card - I had very low FPS on the previous cheap one (£30), but the 7790 can handle max settings no problem, with an average FPS of 40-50.

Thanks! Will look into it.

I have a quad core i5 and 8gb ram but an intergrated graphics card, an Intel HD 4000-and-something.
Can anyone suggest a graphics card that is good value for money but would not be overkill for the rest of my computer?
Thanks in advance for any advice
