Hi

Been out of the pc upgrading loop for a while now so I need some advice.

I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, currently an eldely 8800GT

My motherboard is a Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR
CPU is a Intel Q8400 @2.66GHZ
4 GB ram

Not sure what the PSU rating is until I pull the box out and delve inside but I am planning to replace as neccesary.

I would like to stick with Nvidia and looking at a budget of £150 ish.

Mainly used for some gaming ( eve online ) and light photoshop use

What would be my best option?

Any advice gratefully appreciated
 
The main reason for upgrading is I don't think the 8800GT is going to last much longer.

Its been reflowed twice !!

I'll check eve for cpu usage and post back later
 
Ok when eve is running processor usuage shows 34% max.

From what I gather its not a CPU hungry game.
