Hi all,

Just wondering what would be best at <£350?
Considering ill probably end up using an AMD processor, and board, would AMD (necessarily) a better choice? I just remember reading about their whole 'Dragon Technology' thing, or is it them just advertising?

Basically, i want the best card for gaming possible, at <£350 (ie all options turned up to max, and lag free). Considering i own Empire: Total War, that may be tricky ;). Also, needs to be a card i can XFire/SLI, as i intend to buy a second card down the line when one no longer pulls it off.

Sorry if i've come across a bit naive; i am :D.

TIA

Thanks everyone so far, nice to clean up the dragon thing, overall budget is roughly £1000, as for the screen, need to choose one yet :D.
Will have to look into the ATI 6 series, as i may not be purchasing for a while yet, got to scrape together the last few pennies.
 
Feedback on HW91:

Surely i could get an equivalent or better AMD proc for a lower price?
Don't really need a 1TB HDD, will probs just go for a 500GB now and install a second larger one at a later date.
Is the GPU cooler block necessary?

pretty sweet build tho
 
Jibber55, probs 1366x768, as for games the most demanding i currently own is ETW, this is seriously pushing my current PC and any other stuff i want is just beyond my current
 
ok thanks, this is shaking things up a bit :D im more confused than when i started ;)

what is it with intel multi-threading and AMD not anyways?
isn't it to do with the whole multi-tasking vs raw power thing?
