OK So I need a new GFX card, I was borrowing a 8800gt from a mate, but now I am back to using a very basic ati card that is only really intended to decode HD. The rest of my system is e6600, 4gig ram, Antec 500w psu.

I could spend up to £200 but I'd rather not. I've only got a 22inch screen so not gaming at super res.
I would like to be able to play BF3 not bothered about high settings (I was managing to play on low settings with the 8800gt).

I'm thinking either the on offer just now MSI ATI Radeon HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card or get hold of a 560ti?

What would you buy? Kind of need to order today as well.
 
560ti if gaming at 1920 x 1080 although your CPU might be the bottleneck.
If its less then the 6850 although the 6850 might still be a wise choice anyway for £119.
 
Had a quick look at what Ocuk have on offer just now and nothing very inviting I'm afraid, wait another month and I suspect there will be some bargains to be had then.:)
