Looking to build a low price gaming computer search graphic cards around the £100 i found the gtx550 was greatest at just under 100 then I found a Powercolor hd5830 for £20 less which looks far superior. i have never heard of the Powercolor brand, has anyone any experience with them and which card is better?

My advise for you would be- look for a 6850 or GTX460 1GB as bare minimum...which should cost around £110-£120.
Also, what CPU you using? Cause it doesn't help if your fast graphic card get held back by some old, slow dual-core.

So a i3 530 I guess? While it is not too bad, you should try and overclock it to 4.0GHz at least (if you got a 3rd party CPU cooler).
