Thinking maybe I should have forked out a bit more on graphics, but even so its a worthy upgrade IMO.

Looks good. The 6950 is quite easily overclocked to 6970 speeds and is a great card at that price point. Add in a second 6950 some time down the line if you feel you need to extra oomph (and have an adequate PSU) as crossfire scaling with the 6950s is simply amazing. See here for the scaling; http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/299?vs=293 :p

Looks like they perform very well as a pair, should be able to pick up another for £150 in 9-12 mths time, though whether it'll fit is another matter - this Asus one takes 3 slots :eek:
 
you need a new psu

antech, corsair, xfx(made by seasonic) etc not no brand/chepo ones

Got a Stealth Xtreme 600w waiting to go in, gave it's innards a good clean as it's about 4 yrs old now but I figured it should do the job.

for future xfire you'll need 750/850w

Ahh, I was wondering what the requirements would be for running in Xfire, looks like my current one won't be up to the job.
