Hi guys

I've had a lot of help from stulid in making my computer. He's managed to get me some really good deals and the last thing I need to choose is a graphics card!

He's listed me a couple to get but I thought I'd come especially in to the Graphics Card sub-section to get a few views/comments :)

I would like to say the most I want to spend is £200, but if something is extra special I can probably budge to £230... Anything with BF3 included is a +++! But It's not top of my priorities as I can buy it easily anywhere :)

the new 560ti (400something core) or 7800 series if you can wait till december

if not the 560ti or a 6950 2gb or if u could push it even more a 570
 
You're at a difficult price point. As kmax86 says an upgraded 560TI will be out in a couple of weeks expected to perform and be priced between the current 560TI and GTX570.

Personally with all the changes due, I'd look for a standard 560TI right now, perhaps spend a little extra on one with a good cooler. Most clock easily to near GTX570 performance.

When the dust settles early next year and the new cards are out you'll have enough posts to sell it on the MM and the cash you didn't spend can go towards whichever card is then out.

That's a very good idea :) worth going with this for now? I will play BF3 and can sell Batman.

**edit is the whole overclocking on a Graphics card easy? I'll be getting a 650w PSU, I assume that will accommodate the overclocking?
