You could just get a standard OCUK 560ti mate.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-173-OK&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341 and try and overclock it, I'm not sure how well these overclock.

Or, spend £5 more than your budget and get the faster card - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-074-GI

The MSI is slighter slower than the gigabyte one that is cheaper as far as I can tell :)

I've never heard of ATI cards being more suited to an AMD rig, I've been using a Q6600 and my 6870 for ages and not had a problem. Many users here will be using intel chips and ati graphics as well.

You could go for a 6870 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-040-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866 £132 and sell the games, you should be able to get £20 or so back.

Benchmarks for the two cards - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=330

Also, 460 vs 6870 benchmarks - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=313

Good luck :)
