What should I be looking for?

[Bwaaa]

Looking for a graphics card for my new build and theres so many cards to pick from it's pretty overwhelming for someone without much experience...

So my budget is hovering around £210 - a bit more a bit less will be no problem. Going to be playing pretty much everything on it, WoW, Dragon Age 2, Battlefield(3 when it hits), Crysis, Rage. So basically my question is what should I be looking for? Is speed of vram more important? Nvidia or ATI?

I'm more familiar with ATI cards but i'm sure that won't be a barrier. I don't know if this will impact the requirements of the card but I make gameplay tutorials for Youtube so i'll have Fraps running a lot of the time aswell.

Other parts -

MSI P67A-C45 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) ** B3 REVISION **
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM [@4.20GHz]
Coolermaster Silent Pro Modular 700W Power Supply

Any input appreciated, thanks guys

A lot of users, myself included, have had a lot of issues with that card and a lot
have been RMA'd. If you don't mind the hassle of going through returns then
it does seem to be a very good card. Just my own biased opinion based on
experience

Although on ocuk forumer has got a gtx 580 from gigabyte as a replcement! So
all is not bad.

Thanks
