For 150 quid these are the best two cards you can buy right now:

AMD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-R7870-DDR5-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B009OUYFBC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1379080049&sr=8-5&keywords=7870

Nvidia: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-GTX660-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B0099AOAUI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379080140&sr=8-1&keywords=660

They perform very close to one another:

Hope this helps!

That is a good resolution to game at with either of those cards. Not too high, not too low. The chart I included above actually shows the relative performance at 1920x1200! Should work out perfectly!

Yeh, you was spot on with the answer man. Was just checking both of those links and amazon shows MSI is reduced from 340 quid !!!! and Gigabyte is only reduce from 180quid. MY question is , is this only some Amazon sale technique or MSI got something more to offer for this 340 quid it was supposedly sold for before Amazon reduce it ?

Yeah I'm with Rolli59... It's all about marketing hahaha. Both cards will perform very well with the 7870 being just a tad faster overall (2-8%)!
