Hello I have recently ordered off and received a system, I was wondering what is the best value graphics card for £100-120. Thankyou for help.

My powersupply is the XFX Pro 450W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

PSU is a little on the light side with that sort of GPU, and it's not liking cross-loading.

Still, it should be OK with that GPU.

For the budget, you have either the 6870 or the GTX460.

Thanks guys. I want to get the 6870, but I'm worried that my PSU won't be up for it.

Radeon HD 6870 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

I think you should be ok too, the XFX isnt a naff PSU like a £20 cheap jobbie.

It will be fine- assuming you aren't heavily overclocking. That guru3D review had an i7@3750mhz and the whole system was drawing under 300 watts.

With that power supply i think a radeon 5770 would be good but i think you'd want more performance if the above poster is correct then maybe a 6870 would be a good idea but it is a little above your budget
