Gainward GeForce FX5900 128MB DDR 2.8ns AGP, "Ultra/1100TV-DVI", Retail
As recommended by Austin on this very forum only £117.50 and i think it's £5 for delivery in U.K.

Also as Austin has said in this thread here
http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.p...highlight=5900
it can be modded with a BIOS flash to a FX5950 Ultra!
I would recommend a Radeon 9800 Pro

although it is a bit over your budget.
You could also try a 9800 SE

"Well, there was your Uncle Tiberius who died wrapped in cabbage leaves but we assumed that was a freak accident."
What is the "Lite-Retail" and what are the diffs between that and the full retail?
Also.. is that the same card as the one on OcUK (GX-017-SP) ?
The card itself is the same, the only difference is the stuff that gets bundled with it e.g. games, software, isn't included with Lite-Retail (Why can nobody spell light properly anymore?Originally Posted by Auron

You can get a 9800 Pro 128Mb even closer to your budget here - it really is worth stretching for - enjoy...

This may be "Lite-Retail", though it is not labelled as such...
...all this means is that it doesn't come with any extras like games etc.
It is still the same great card...

Seems OcUK is the cheapest, not sure on delivery though, which place would you guys recommend, I had a bad experience with OcUK sodding me about I had to ring them 3 times.
Found an even cheaper one:
