Hello all,

Just adding a graphics card to the basket but I've seen a fair few I would'nt mind adding and I can't make up my mind. I've got a budget of up to £120 and I wont be overclocking it.

I've heard that these cards are pretty good;

ATi 4850 (But heat troubles?)
Nvidia 9800GT
Nvidia 8800

If there's only going to be a few FPS diffrence but a huge price diffrence between two cards, i'm going to go for the cheaper one.

Thanks,

Wasley

I highly doubt that i'll be ordering tonight. Perhaps later in the week. I'm waiting for the E7200's to drop in price (There meant to drop around about now).
