I say get the Radeon as well. I use a HD 6970 and loooove it. Check out Newegg, they can have some pretty good deals sometimes.

Edit: Also, I would recommend upgrading your power supply when you can. 500 watts is pretty small and you will need to get a bigger one if you ever plan on upgrading.

500W is basic if u want just to play randomly , but if u wana up yr HW then u gotta think of power. if not it ll do the work

im only looking for spend around £100, £130 if it's really needed but im really not a big gamer i just watch films on it in good quality and play diablo 3 in good quality when it comes out.. i don't play battlefield 3 or any of them high spec games

Then you don't need a high spec card, but if you do get one then you need a better PSU.

check game requirements

hmm... time for some non-helpful advice...

Dont get whatever graphics card we've got... its not all that good...


anyways, on to more helpful stuff... Look over all aspects when you pick things... price, critique, capabilities, known weaknesses, etc... and use something like google to check general experience people have with a specific component... Its quite useful for not making mistakes...

How the hell did you come up with that combination of parts?
