    I'd say get a 4870 if you can and you should be able to with one on that PSU - if not, get a 4850. Failing those two, there are currently Radeon 4770's on ebuyer for £58!!!

    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    What he said!

    The HD4870 512MB is on Ebuyer for around £90. The HD4850 and GTS250 are overpriced in comparison though as the HD4870 512MB should be at least 20% faster.

    Yep fully agree.

    order to look in
    4870
    4850 or gts250
    4770

    Re: Need new graphics card (PCI-E)

    Here is the reply i got from AMD

    you should be fine as long as you are taking out the X800 card when installing the HD4K card with the 480W power supply.
    Bit of sarcasm there
