GPU advice please

[grommy74]

Hi guys,

Im new to the forums and Im hoping for a bit of advice please.

Im building a new rig to replace my old C2D 6850, 8800GT setup. I have most of what I need bar the GPU. I want to be able to game Star-Craft II at 1920x1080, WoW at maximum settings and run two monitors the new one been a 24, the second an existing 20. I have a strict budget of 200 pounds at OCUK (all the Irish retailers have very poor options). Its an I7 system on a Asus P6X58D-E so SLI or Xfire are options. PSU is 700w. May consider something now and a second card in 3 months.

Thanks for the advice

Grommy

How does a 460 1GB for now and then sli later sound either that or push your budget £25 and go for a 470 and then sli later if needed (would have to check the power consumption though for that).

The 460 768mb are going cheap aswell though, so you could get a sli setup right now if you just push your budget a bit.
