£114, what to get

[Mr.Nick]

Hey guy's

I've got £114 to spend on a graphics card so I can actually build my new rig thats sat next to me.

My options are,

1. Buy the cheap Asus 4850 and then get some peripherals

2. Buy the cheap HIS 4870, no peripherals (I have a Corsair VX 450W Psu, would this hold the 4870 with an Intel E7400?)

Which would be the best option?

Just a note, I'm not buying the XFX 4850 XXX Edition as a lot of people have had issues with Crysis (Which I intend to play)

Cheers!

Would get the 4870 personally.

 

[Mr.Nick]

Anybody else's views?

 

[Firestar_3x]

4870 without doubt.

[Mr.Nick]

Ok,

Can my Corsair 450W power a 4870 no hitches?

I'm sure it can but just making sure

Thanks guys.

Without knowing what else (apart from the CPU) is in your rig then it's hard to tell. You could be running 10HDD, 4 pumps and 50 fans for all we know at the moment

 

[Mr.Nick]

Lol, sorry

1 hdd (want to add another in future)
5 fans (incl Cpu fan)
1 optical drive

I'd say that 450w is enough, even if you added another drive or two in the future. Go for the 4870 for sure

be a fool not to get the loadsa option tbh !

[Mr.Nick]
