What card would you get to compliment a Sandy Bridge 2500k and a monitor at 1920 x 1080?

I have a Sapphire 5850 xtreme, my mate also has the same card, he wants to buy mine to run his in Crossfire.

I would spend up to £500.

Thanks
 
What do you intend to do with it?
What PSU do you have?

My reccomendations would be:

SLI THESE

I have THIS and it's a fantastic card

On ATI side:

Crossfire THESE

a LOT of those options are overkill ;)

Assuming the OP has an SLI and Crossfire compatible motherboard.

Edit

I think they may have an Asus P8P67 Pro but it's always good to ask.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replies, yes I have an Asus P8P67 Pro which is SLI or Crossfire :)

My PSU is a OCZ Stealth 600w

Basically I want to run any current game with everything turned on, my rig struggles with The Witcher 2 but I think that's to be expected.

one 6950 should be fine. I wouldn't risk x-fire/SLI with your PSU.

My reccomendation is MSI 6950 TF3 and THIS
 
Cheers guys, I'm wondering if I should get a GTX 580, since my board can handle the in sli it does leave a good upgrade in the future, do you think a OCZ StealthXStream 2 600W can handle this card?
