Hello I'm looking to buy a new Graphics Card since the one I have is on it's way out especially since the fan broke on it but I got over 2 and a half years out of it.
I roughly have a budget of £200 to buy one, I might be able to go over this if it's really a going to make a difference but I'd rather not.
The games I usually play are World of Warcraft Cata, CSS, Fallout3, Starcraft 2 and some others. I'd like the card to be able to play games coming out in the future as well and to be able to play the games I listed at max settings and future ones as well.

My current Pc specs are:
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8500
(6M Cache, 3.16 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
ASUS P5KPL SE Motherboard
Radeon HD4870 512MB GDDR5
Corsair TX650W Power Supply
DDR PC2-6400 2X 2046MB
LG W2043 LCD Monitor 1600x900
Windows XP 64-bit Pro (I could buy the upgrade to Windows 7 if you think it's really needed)

Thanks for reading that and If you need anymore Info please do ask as you guys know a lot more about upgrading properly than me :)
 
5870 and 470 are ~ 200 but to be honest at 1600x900 you will be CPU limitated. Any one of a 460, 5850 and the 6850 would be better choices. The MSI 5850 is a steal at 125 atm :)
