Hi all,

I have spec'd up a new build but im struggling with the graphics card, I have no clue really.

Can someone please suggest a graphics card at the £100, maybe £110 but certainly no more (inc VAT) mark?

Thanks
 
7300GT or 7600GT if you want nvidia, or maybe a X1600XT if ATI.

If you go down the 2nd hand route, you should get a 7800GT/GTX and as the X1800XT is only £130 new you may be able to pursuade someone to part with one for £100. Failin g that at X1800GTO
 
Currently on this week only i saw, bit of a shame its slightly overbudget with VAT:

OcUK GeForce 7900 GS 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-042-OK)

Price: £99.99 (£117.49 Including VAT at 17.5%)
 
It kind of depends why you are building the PC. If it s to play games on, you really dont want to skimp on the card.

I'd personally go for the X1800XT 256Mb @ £130 in this weeks only, or if you could stretch to £170 the X1900XT 256Mb. I know from experience that if you intend to play games and then skimp on the hardware it always costs you more in the long run as you are forever replacing bits you should have bought in the first place.

If its not to play games on any of the suggestion earlier would be fine.

Exactly what I was going to say, outstanding value for money, certainly worth rinsing your sister's piggy bank for the extra few quid.
 
Hi there

The OcUK 7900 GS is stonking value. Don't forget these cards perform close to 7900 GT's and this one in particular overclocks like a champion due to the size of the heatsink on it. :)

Also like others say the X1800 XT is unbeatable value too. :)
