Why is HD6850 better than a GTX460? I would of thought it is the other way round (and its not because I got one )

At least a 500W PSU would be better. PSU do degrade over time and produce less power also if you are thinking of overclocking.

they seem to be even man, but the HD6850 looks to be better in the min fps sector.
Also i seen the benchmarks for one of the games i plan on getting S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat and the HD6850 wins,
some games are better on the GTX 460 and some are better on the HD6850

Look for the Corsair HX 520w http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114945

It seems to be discontinued on ebuyer, but that is the PSU I have with my 3.6ghz Q6600 + overclocked GTX 285...

I highly doubt you'll need more than 520w.

The HX is high quality, I have no complaints, it's really good and I got it because Moogle recommended it and it got high reviews.

A++
