What to upgrade first?

Will be getting a nice bounty bonus of around £500 on the first of august.

Looking at the spec in my sig what would be the best thing to upgrade first? I looking to spend around £200.

4850 worth the purchase? I'd rather spend £200 on one component then when I get my next bonus get my next component and so on.

Heard a lot about the 4870, could also get a 285 for £200 aswell.

The 4850 would be better than your current card but not by much, a 4870 or 4890 would be a much bigger leap.

What I thought, had this 8800GT since they first launched and it was an excellent card. Wanting something to last me at least a year or so.

How are the Ati cards? Been a while since I had one. Last one I had was an
X1950Pro 512mb.

Ordered myself a 4870X2 and a Q6700.

Blown my entire bounty but it should be worth it

Should cut it I believe.

not bothered really.

Same old same old, I could be playing that game for years. There is always something just round the corner.
