That's a great card and a bargain price. It will work really well with the rest of your rig. Phyx really wont help out games, devs like ID have come and said it's a bit of a stupid idea, long term... but hey it's a "feature".

Personally I would look at real world bang for buck and the 1gb 4870 has that in abundance. Also I wouldn't bother waiting for the next gen of ATI cards (available in 2 weeks plus). The initial offerings will be price well above this bracket and although they will be very fast will not offer the best price/performance ratio at this time. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot mate well i could push the budget at bit more but im taking into a count maybe it triple channel instead of duel also will need dvd drive maybe a CPU cooler aswell more than likely
