I've just upgraded (finally) my monitor and it's time for the graphics card to follow as I've had to wind down the graphics settings to deal with the extra pixels!
I've decided to go with a 4870 and I'm now in a bit of a pickle between 2 in particular.
There is a £1 difference between either a 1GB veriosn, or a pre-OCd version (50MHz) with better cooling.

http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=860600 -Pre-OCd
I was just after some advice as to which one would be better suited to my 1680x150 display. I mainly play FPS- HL2, TF2, bioshock, et al.
Current setup:
P5K-e
Q6600 @3.2GHz
3850 (OCd by about 100MHz/150MHz GRAM)
2GB RAM @ about 1020 or so. (upgrading to 4 at the same time)
Currently thinking more of the cooling setup and higher clocks...
Cheers for your help guys.
