    Which 4870 and PSU?

    I have settled on a 1gb 4870 for my current rig (c2d 3ghz(e8400?) / 8gb ram etc)

    As I have a weak psu (antec earthwatts 380w), I think im also going to need a new one of these aswell.

    Im currently considering the 1gb 4870 powercolor from ebuyer (£108)
    coupled with an antec earthwatts 650w, also from ebuyer (£64).

    If anyone has any other suggestions, as i would rather spend less, then i would be grateful.

    Cheers

    TBH the best 4870 will probably be the cheapest one. They are all built at the same place so no difference in quality. Just make sure it has a decent cooler (reference is fine).
