I got advised a Gigabyte 1GB GTX 460 a week ago for £151, that's now £139. As it's a week later and prices have changed, what do you suggest is the best to get?
 
Basically either a HD6850 1GB or a GTX460 1GB.

Both perform about the same, and cost about the same.

Just go with the manufacturer you prefer.
 
If you are on a budget, get the coolermaster GX on this week only would be myadvice.... What is your motherboard?

Board is already OC'd and well cooled...

I still haven't bought a case yet. I was tempted to go for the CM430 bundle but went against it because of hearing a couple bad things about the PSU it comes with. The 430 is still a possibility though.

I have around £250 to spend on a case/psu and GFX card. Possibly take away £15 as i'll probably buy the Artic Cooling Freezer Rev 2. Might be able to stretch a little but only if it's worth it.
 
I think i'm gonna go with the one suggested above. I'm now considering stretching my budget for the Antec 650w (even though i'll never use that amount of wattage) because of how reliable it is and getting a good £60 case aswell. So i guess i just need to decide on a case. Suggestions welcome.
 
It's £69.99 but it's modular and apparantly a lot more reliable than the OCZ ModXStream II 500w which is £15 cheaper.

What exactly does B grade mean? I'd order now but i have to wait a couple of hours to order anyway because i've gotta to finalise everything and don't fancy paying delivery twice. It'll probably be gone by the time i order but i'd imagine the overclocked 460 is better out the box anyway?
 
It will be close, 470's tend to OC nicely...

B grade could be anything, you may get no box for example... the main item is going to work though and you will be able to register with EVGA for 10 year warranty....

Both are nice cards, I would prob go 470 at the same price point...
 
Nah, i'd have liked too but i still gotta go to the bank and put some money in before i order. Someone got a brilliant deal though.
