Help choosing video card....?

[kdouglas1987]

Hi there im looking to buy a budget video card to retire my onboard graphics. Im NOT much of a gamer, but i do like my video editing and image rendering quite a lot. Also use the rig as a HTPC so HD support for viewing and editing is a must. Support for more than 1 monitor is also a must. Having done benchmark test on my graphics i found my score to be embarrassingly low. I want to buy a video card that will run with my current equipment, that is...

Asrock N68C-S Motherboard
AMD Phenom FX-5000 Quad-Core Processor at 3.0GHz (disregard the sig freq)
2GB OCZ Platinum Revision 2 PC2-6400 800MHz CL5

I dont want to spend too much, probably £100 maximum, ive had a quick look.

How would this one work with my current stuff? i only choose that because its bang on my max....if theres a cheaper one with similar performance i would be inclided to pay less....Any suggestions would be great. Cheers

Last gen but very similar performance.

The 4850 looks great value for money under £100, and the 5750 also performs extremely well, I suppose it is just a case of deciding whether to spend the extra for cooler performance and less power draw.
