The 500w Version. :) Better to spend £10 now or spend 50-70 in a year or so. Ive had my Seasonic 500w S12 for almost 2 years now.

Just a note on evga unless you register the card within 1 month you just get a 1 year warranty and it's not transferable because of this reason i am going bfg only in future.They should be far more clear about this there's certainly nothing in my box that states you must register or 1 year warranty.
Try registering on evga's site and you'll see that you can't as it still requires a u.s state as a required field even when you select uk.

ahh ok sorry mate I thought you were buying a PSU. If thats what you have already then thats fine. PSU requirements are normally over hyped. Tom|Nbk did a test with a power meter a couple of months ago which backed this up.

Nice little upgrade btw ;)

Agreed. Just keep it until the top end monsters come out and sell the GT with a loss of a few quid. Perfect!

By that time the gt will be worth £70-£80 resale if the gts is same spec as this but with 128 sp then it surely is going to do to the ultra what the gt did to the gtx and then some.
 
I'm trying to resist upgrading but finding it v difficult. Wonder if these will drop when the Ati card comes out later this month ? decisions, decisions......
