Graphics card advice needed.

[Chrisss]

I current have an Intel E6300 dual core, and 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and am planning on getting a graphics card.

I was thinking about getting this card:

OcUK GeForce 7900 GS 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-042-OK) (115 pounds incl. VAT) On this page

Is this a wise choice, and is there anything that is better which is in the same price range? Can't really go any higher money wise.

Thanks

If you plan on overclocking the card you should get some good results the only card I would recomend you consider is the slightly more expensive Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-134-SP) £131.59 inc vat. The card will be faster stock and from what i've seen has good overclocking potential and more features

I'm not thinking of overclocking and probably can't stretch my budget that far.

Also what PSU do people recommend for this setup?

 

[Tetras]

Anything 400 (and higher) from the OCUK range should be fine. The Akasa Paxpower PSUs are good value if you don't wanna spend too much (just over £40 for the 400 Watt, x2 15A +12v).

Actually what would be better, the card I mentioned above of this card:

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-134-SP)
