AMD FX-6100 3.30GHz

For sheer value one of these:

Amazon seem to have it at a good price ATM:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Club-3D-7870...3874161&sr=8-9
Not really, there's the slightly cheaper 660 or the £220 660 Ti, but nothing around the £200 mark really.
The 660 is slightly cheaper, but it won't be as fast:

The 660 is smaller and more power efficient but in terms of price/performance the 7870 XT wins hands down.
Is Club 3d a good option though? Unless I'm mistaken, they don't seem to come with any manufacturer warranty, and instead leave that with the retailer.
[ I'm also on the lookout for a 7870/7870xt]
Yeah Club3D are fine, they may be not be a big name brand but they get a lot of good reviews.
I wouldn't worry about it personally, especially if buying from Amazon.
There are very few options on the XT version anyway.
Maybe have a look at the 650ti boost. Its a new card and a nice low profile choice. In this price range amd is preferable though. If you can squeeze more in grab a 7950, I have the msi twin frozr and it overclocks well.
