X1950 Pro is your best option, I think.

Been looking at 7600gt are they any good?

They are good but 170 quid can go much further.

Maybe
Leadtek GeForce 7950 GT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

or if u want to go ATI

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Compare the cards using:

Allows you look at each individual card in different settings to see how it copes, whichever matches your preffered games and your setup together with a good price is your best option..

X1950XT is the better of the two i believe, by a decent margin

More benchmarks than you can throw a stick at!

The x1900xt (256 or 512) seems to be better than the 7950GT. So the x1950xt should be better again.
