Can You Help?

I would suggest considering the HD 4870 1GB, as it's faster than the GTX260, and has a bit more RAM for higher res.

Also, you won't need a new PSU, that hiper 680 is more than enough for whatever card you get. :)

Yeah either get a 4870 1GB or a GTX280, it silly not to spend an extra £13 for a GTX280 over a GTX260.

TBH they probably won't be in stock come Saturday :(

Your current PSU will be fine, although I would change it. I dislike Hiper.
 
i dont have the monies to change PSU just yet, its only running

Your PSU will run your setup with a GTX280 :)

My point was just like you only want a Nvidia card, I dislike Hiper, and therefore won't buy their stuff.
 
The current GTX260 is built on a 65nm fab, the one being released tomorrow is on a 55nm fab. The reason some of the GTX260s are cheap is because they are being sold in order to clear space for the new stock. The new 55nm parts are cheaper to produce, and run cooler. I believe they will be priced the same/similar.

OCUK have a 65nm GTX260 @ £206.99 at the moment if you are still set on one :)

Won't be much faster, and you can always overclock the standard speed ones to those speeds and beyond.

Id only get the BFG if you want the longer warranty tbh, as that OcUK 260 is a cracking price. :)

They'll be fine, my 6000X2 runs a 8800GTX fine at your resolution, so I wouldn't worry :)

Although technically, it might hold back the GTX260 a little bit, but nothing you would notice in reality, only in benchmarks.
