I guess it depends on what you are using your card for....
You can't fault the Sapphire Vapour-X for anything but it's price with a 20 quid (or thereabouts) premium for the cooling solution. However it does mean you don't have to layout on a new cooler to replace the stock one.
Have you thought about the 58xx series though? I get the impression that the 5850 seems to hit all the right buttons right now.
Corsair Air 540, Asus Prime X570-Pro, Win 10 Pro, AMD R9 3900X, Corsair HX 750, EVGA 1080 Ti, 2x Corsair 2TB MP600, 2x 2TB WD20EZRX, 4x8GB Corsair Dominator, custom watercooled (single loop, 2 rads)
Corsair 550D, Asus X470-Prime Pro, Win 10 Pro, AMD R7 2700, Corsair RM750i, Asus GTX780 Poseidon, 2x Sammy 500GB 970 EVO, 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance, custom watercooled (single loop, 2 rads)

+1 ajones: I own the 4890 Vapor X, but if I was buying now, it would be to buy the 5850 or stretch to 5870.
Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
max £££ is 150, it will be to replace my dead 3870x2 . mainly for gaming @1680x1050

Was going to suggest the 5770 which is meant to perform just below the 4870 but 40nm fabrication resulting in lower temps/power for the green-minded.
May be worth waiting a little while for the 'new-factor' to subside and so the prices too hopefully.

i was thinking the same , and having a crossfired mobo i can get another at a later date . i have just seen the review here at hexus for the crossfired 5770 , i must say i was supprised by the performance
i went for the sapphire 5770 in the end , wow was i supprised by it's performance .
