Card Budget

[Damo1176]

I'm after a decent graphics card and the best i can get for around £180. So many different thoughts I thought I'd try and get an overall view.

System currently:

E6600
Geil PC6400 RAM
DS3P motherboard
Corsair 520W PSU
Noctua UH12 heatsink and fan
Seagate 7200.10 320Gb HDD

Thanks folks

Definitely the 8800GTS 320MB.

You can pick up a Nvidia 7950 GX2 1GB for under that on a large auction site.

A lot of reviews have said 8800GTS but again there is a fair selection..any particular brand...are BFG best or are you better off going cheaper?

Personally I think that BFG and EVGA models are by far the best but really they're all the same aside from warranty etc. You should just go with any brand you're familiar with and sells for a good price, Leadtek and Gainward are generally good in this area.
