Building a mate a comp so he can play flight sims. Was gonna get him a 6850 but they seem a little thin on the ground so was looking at this:

For the record, the rest of the build is:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-101-AN

Donating him a 750G seagate hdd and optical drive I got kicking about. Just want some opinions/options on graphics card choice

Thanks muchly
 
haha oops thought I did choose a modular one - and yes I know how useful they are!

Liking the option there but trying to keep costs down - that lot I've listed comes to £555 before shipping and thats about the limit tbh.
 
Get the GTX 460 SUPER OC like opethdisciple said, it's a great card for the money and nearly as fast as a 470.

If you google it you can get it for £158.99, but not from here.

£30 difference still not worth it imo, even with the cuda, physx(which would give you great effects but at the same time would slow down fps)game, which I would never install due to it using Ubi's DRM, and never liked the first either. Even if you got £10 for it it would then be £20 which still does not make it better.

Well I think it's worth it for a fast card with extra features and who cares if you did not like the game and the first one for that matter, it's not for you...lol
