thanks for replies

mobo is Foxconn P45A-S LGA 775 and budget is around £100 for a card that improves on 6870 , i'm going to assume it'll be a second hand card, length of card is an issue, I do have a spare R9 280 but its too long inside
the Lian Li case.

So nothing bigger in size than existing 6870, any further opinions welcomed.

get 7 (or 10 maybe) you can get OEM copies for like £20 if you know where to look

oh and those Windows 7 for around £20, actually i don't know where to look, anyone want suggest where i should point my sav nav towards ?
