Kind of odd that a brand name gtx is £305 and the ocuk oem varient is around £375 or so.
Gibbo, is the Leadtek Extreme GT200b core? 55nm version?
Looking at the clock speeds it has to be.
The spec looks good to me. Should be a beast.
Others will tell you to go for the ATI 4870, and yes this is probably the better value card. Personally I went for a GTX280 because I want top-end power and I intensely dislike multi-GPU setups.
Yeah i was considering 4870 (i would need xfire to run 24" resolutions i imagine? because a single 4870 wouldn't really compliment 24" resolutions right?) but people tend to say single GPU is better at current .. i also want top-end power and the best card available atm to future proof my system .. i build a system every three years so i can afford to buy the best card available at the time.. thankyou for the comment more comments would be great
Saying that the 280 would likely win on performance ..
Im trying to build a new PC, i will be using a 24" Monitor Which means reasolutions of 1920x1200 i guess, MAINLY for hi-spec gaming & 1080p movies, i have put together this spec:

You guys think this spec is ok? I honestly have no idea if this spec supports what i want the pc for, any comments would be great
if only the gun on the front was bigger, I'd buy it then!
OCUK - Any news on the incoming Leadtek GX2 cards? I know they say overdue, but just wondering when these might arrive.
Thanks.
