Hey Guys, building a new rig with a £300 budget. want to get the most i can out of it for this guy.. but would like some advice on the GPU.

Im looking into some benchmarks and whatnot, its gotta be able to play Eve Online and some FPS games reasonably.. Current im torn between ' 9800 GT ' and the superior it seems ' HD 4830 ' shown in below pic.

it's gotta be under £100 :)

This is the current set up..



Feedback appreciated.

The ATi 4830 and Nvidia 9800GT are pretty similar in performance, so either way they will do you fine. Although the 9800GTs are slightly cheaper, I much prefer the 4830, especially that Sapphire model. I have one myself and it is a very good performing card and the custom cooler makes a lot of difference.

I know you are trying to keep things as cheap as possible, but for the RAM, why not go for the Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5. You get lifetime warranty with it which makes RMAing a lot easier if you run into defects. Plus it comes with heatspreaders as standard.
 
Well, ill certainly suggest it :)
Just trying to scout around for a cheaper motherboard to free up money for a better processor.
Andd.. yeah, i think the 4830 will do quite nicely.
