Heyas, I'm currently running a 8800GTS 320Mb, all I do is play WoW, I very rarely play anything else.. Since getting my T260HD, I've become acustom to watching BluRay and HDTV, would I gain much performance? The only time I saw a slight stutter was when I was watching Coraline, but that was it.

I was thinking something low end, 4850 or GTX250, and what does "Built-in HDMI with 5.1 surround sound support" mean? It comes with a built in soundcard?

My budget is sub £100. So I don't think there is any point in waiting for the 5XXX series, unless it pushes the 48X0's down in price.
 
A 4850 would suit you nicely, I'd wait until at least tomorrow though, they may announce the 4 series replacements too.
 
itl be a bit more future proof, even if he wanted to got to higher res

He's currently at 1920*1200, any higher is biiiiig bucks or dual monitor set up.

A 4870 is no more future proof than a 4850, both being 1Gb and not being that far apart in terms of performance, with the new 5*** series coming out soon as well they will be old tech.
 
I think I'll rock with a 4850 after the 5xxx series has come out, see if they drop any lower than they already are.

And yeah, I mean, my 8800GTS handles WoW fine, it's just when playing Blu's it stutters a bit.
