Hello, Alan... not a serious gamer, or not a gamer at all? I used to have a Radeon 7000, which you'd easily pick up for under £30 these days. It was a nice little card, very reliable and didn't require a fan so it was silent in use (oh, those were the days
). However, it used to struggle to handle stuff like Counter Strike, The Sims, etc... Even a non-serious gamer would be frustrated by a Radeon 7000, but for browsing the web, sending emails, using Word or Excel, etc... then I'm sure it would be fine.
