Please would someone be kind enough to spec me a GPU

^^ On latest drivers the 7870 more or less catches up with the GTX580 possibly couple of percent faster overall - 7850 is still around 10% slower overall than the GTX580 stock for stock on latest drivers and the 560ti 448 is around 10-12% slower than the GTX580. With the price difference atm the performance difference is fairly academic anyhow.

Even that Anand 7850 vs GTX 570 bench link Cleeecooo posted shows the 7850 more or less level pegging with the GTX 570 (And this before the average 10% performance gain the latest drivers give the 7850)

Add that to the £50 price difference to the GTX 560ti 446 and the 7850 it is completely academic

GTX 460 or GTX 650
similar performance & similar price in the £100 range.

shame not to push the budget to £200 with such a strong CPU though, £100 won't give you enough GPU grunt these days.
