Hi, my graphics card died the other day, get some weird bug when i install the drivers and my computer refuses to boot. I have some old spare one in atm. I can spend up to around £140, I really don't want to go over, and would prefer to spend around 120..

I have a Corsair 520W PSU, not sure if this is good enough for running a GTX260 or a 4890!

Thanks, Alex


Also, Dell ST2410 or the new Iiyama prolite 24" monitor that can be pre ordered?
 
How about a 5770? If you want that little bit more speed and aren't bothered about DX11, get a 4890, a GTX260 is no match for a 4890 especially when they're the same price.
 
Only 260 worth buying IMO is the gigabyte 260 Super Overclock... (which will beat all but the extreme overclocked 4890 models and probably matches most of those for performance).

Personally I'd say get the 5770... it will be a considerable performance increase over the G80 GTS.
 
I'll go for either the 5770 or the 4890 then, I just hate how the 5770 looks, kind of a bad reason not to get it but I put a lot of effort in to making the inside of my computer look good ;D

Will the 4890 run with my PSU? And which 5770 would you recommend ? The Sapphire one for 119?
 
Consider the XFX 5770 if looks are important (assuming OcUK's picture is accurate!). Your PSU should be fine. Best to ask about monitors in the monitors forum.
