YOUR BASKET
1 x OcUK HD 6850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £89.99
Total : £99.89 (includes shipping : £8.25).



Brilliant card in the £100 bracket. 6850 vs 460 1gb: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/291?vs=313

Yea, don't go for the 550Ti - it only has 192 stream processors, in comparison the GTX 460 1GB has 336 stream processors.

In this price range the best options are the HD 6850, GTX 460 1GB and the HD 6870.

Please note that the EVGA card I picked there is the cheaper F TW version, which is actually faster than the Superclocked version.

550ti is rubbish.

No man, go for this one, it is £8 cheaper and is faster (compare the clockspeeds of the two cards).

If you don't like the look of those ones, then I would recommend this Coolermaster 430. It is a solid case that is good value and cools well (though I would add a few extra fans, as you don't get too many included with it).

 

[ALXAndy]

Z9 plus and Shinobi are fine cases. Nothing wrong with them at all.

You can also buy modding kits for the Shinobi which adds to the fun IMO.

 

[Tomrhawk]

the shinobi would be perfect for me if it had a bigger window side panel, is they a mod for this or a different side panel i can buy?
