Hi new to overclockers forums.

I bought the "titan nero" from the site

- Case: Xigmatek Asgard - Black
- Power Supply: OCZ 500w StealthXStream II
- CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 3.00GHz (Socket AM3)
- Motherboard: AMD 880G (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
- RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit
- Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6GB/s
- Graphics Card: Onboard AMD Graphics
- Sound: ALC888B 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC
- Optical Drive: LG GH22NS50 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter

Can anyone suggest the best graphics card choice for this system, so i dont bottleneck anything? I was thinking the radeon hd 5750.
Its primarily to run wow. I dont expect ultra settings but the best possible (I do 25 man raids) is prefferd . Budget: £120
I will probably upgrade in a few years when i get more money
I appreciate any help :D

Or this if you want to push the boat out a bit (£5 over budget). Here is the performance compared to the 5830:

That said, if you are playing a Wow raid with a load of bods, I reckon the Athlon II X2 CPU will be the performance limiting factor - even with the HD 5830 card. Maybe it would be best to go for the cheaper (yet still excellent) HD 5830 card stulid mentions and put the rest of the money towards a CPU upgrade (like this).
