Hello fellow OcUk forum members. I have a few things i need you more experienced users to help me with. First off, I need a new graphics card. My HD4770 is just awful these days. Now i'm not the kinda of person that plays super demanding games, I only really play 2, WoW and SC2.

I am looking for a graphics card that will be compatable with my motherboard. But one thing does worry me, since my motherboard is only a microATX board, I'm concerned that if i get a new graphics card it may block my SATA ports on the motherboard, Space isn't an issue when it comes to graphics cards for me since i have my rig inside a nice Zalman Z9 plus, but I'm worried if i would block those ports which obviously we all need to use to connect the HDDs and Cd drive to.

My motherboard is this

And like i said I'm only playing WoW and SC2, nothing much else.
Could you guys recomend me a card that would fit on my board, one that's compatable and wont block those SATA ports.

My budget is around £150-200 for the card.

Thanks for reading.

How about either a GTX 460 or a HD5850 and 1 or 2 sata cables with right angled conectors.

And as Kaeo pointed out, your link goes to the homepage only.
 
200 quid ...480gtx

If you go at the upper end of the budget, the 480GTX is a card with a lot of ooomph in it.

Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Far Cry 2 £191.99
(£159.99) £191.99
(£159.99)

Then get some 90 degree Sata cables so they have the lowest possible vertical footprint

With shipping thats a smidgen over £200 for a totally awesome card and some cables. Just make sure your Power Supply is up to the job and has the correct connectors ....
