Ok the main game im playing is WoW and after posting looking for advice building a system i was recomended the ATi radeon X1950 for gaming, since then ive heard people say that ati cards suffer with lack of opengl support.
This left me fairly confused and now im back here.

Could anyone recomend me a graphics card suitable for WoW with a max price of £85

x1950 pro is the best card in that price range and it isn't so bad at open gl

No chipset voltage adjustment on the PK5 SE. Not sure if you had planned on overclocking the system.

Go with the x1950pro you cant do better at that price range.

Im not too good in this area, but what i think he means is that if you was planning on overclocking your cpu for example - you may need to change the voltage (more electricity) on the motherboard. But i think he means your mother board wont allow you to do that.

Looking at the ASUS website for the P5K SE it says it can be overclocked, guess some1 would need to explain in detail whats going on here.

Almost any board can be overclocked, it's just a question of how much.

The board should overclock ok but the voltage regulation unit is only a 4 phase so that may prevent you hitting some of the extreme overclocks and limit the overclock of a Quad core CPU later if you decide to upgrade.

Yep, the X1950pro cant be beat in its price range & OpenGL performance is fine.
