Hello there

Thought I'd better introduce myself as I've been posting a lot today. Been building computers for about 15 years now, started as a hobby and a challenge (manually assigning IRQs - ugh!) but it's pretty much second nature now. Just upgraded to an 1155 setup after umming and ahhing for a year or so, then my graphics card died within a week of it being up and running, so now I'm saving for a new one.

Welcome mate, i'm new too aha... what card you thinking of getting ?

Looking at a 6850 for now as I'm on a strict budget. I'd like something better for futureproofing but with all the commotion over the nvidia releases I don't think it's the right time to drop a large amount of money on anything. Plus 6850s have dropped a good £30 in the past month, so it's a good match with the rest of my setup.

Can you tell I'm going through purchase justification right now?!

Just a quick one, your sig needs to be max of 4 line of text

Aww haha, I'm not sure whether to get a 6850 or a GTX 560.
