Built my first rig a month or so ago, now that I've built up some money again it's time for the graphics card. Can anyone help suggest a nice £100 - £140 for my system please:

Phenom II X3BE 2.80GHz
Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H
OCZ Platinum 4GB
Coolermaster 650W

It'll be for a combination of photoshop and some mild gaming (I got the Batman AA demo to work on my integrated graphics and got hooked)

I would get the card in the link above, it just comes into your budget and is a much better overclocker than the 4870 which most of the time won't reach 4890 stock clocks overclocked. The vapor-x above will be much quieter though if noise is an issue. Another thing i would think about is spending a little extra and getting a next gen 5850 which will set you back around #200.
