I did say it's better to go 2500K instead of 2600K for gaming, but I was trying to say was 6950 2GB vs 5850 1GB is 15-20% faster at the cost of 80% extra...

Yes around the £200 range the 6950 2GB is definitely the best card to get, but it still a bit poor in value considering the it's not really that much faster than the 5850.

Yes the 6950 2GB is together with the 2500K would be a good option at the moment, but another option that the OP could consider is get a 5850 for now, and then upgrade to the next gen 28nm £200 range card when it's out and sell the 5850.

True, always an option.

Which card? The sapphire 5850? If so around 550w to be on the safe side as a min. If you intend to update the graphics card down the line though or something else, its worth getting something like a 600-700w psu from a good brand.
