Good Card for gaming at 1680x1050

I'm using a 4770 for my 22" and although limited by my slow processor, it can pretty much run anything at this res.

Good point. If you plan to get a new psu then any good quality 450 watt+ will do you fine. (If you plan to go sli or crossfire then 600watt). And by good quality I mean brands such enermax, seasonic, corsair, ocz, antec, fsp, etc. Pretty much everything but Ezcool

+1, just don't forget to check if the PSU comes with at least 2 x 6 pin (or 1 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin in the high end Nvidia cards) GPU power cables.

I would recommend a HD 4890 (currently £139.99 at overclocker.co.uk). A GTX275 is slightly better but costs ~£35 more.

For a lower budget a XFX HD 4870 1GB (XXX version OC to 775/3800) is also good @ £117 from Novatech.

Personally I would go for the HD 4890 in case you get a 1080P HDTV in future.

I think I will go with the GTX 260. For two reason:
1) Future proofing. I have know intention of upgrading my monitor for quite a few years. So the GTX 260 ought to last a while. (At least according too this thread).

2) It Nvidia. I do coding in my spare time, and im quite interested in CUDA technology and its potential benefits.
