Hey guys. Well, i need some help, i want to buy a new graphics card and a new power supply for it because the one i have atm is too weak. So i found this website to buy stuff from, www.scan.co.uk and i dont know which parts should i take. I was thinking about 4870 1gb.. but now sure if its worth it. My budget limit is 200£ (GBP). So can you please tell me which are the best ones? Thanks for the help guys. And btw my motherboard is not that new so i think wattage of power supply shouldnt be above 650.

+1 on waiting up on the new parts from ati. or at least for a lower price of current generation cards as soon as the new ones come out.

most likely 250/220 -400 range hard to speculate especially if there's going to be another price war between amd and nvidia.

INCLUDING the power supply. then you want to stick to 4870 1GB. but then i would wait for the new generation cards to come out to be sure/ prices of current gen cards to come down a bit.

oh and i meant us dollars in us. don't know anything about prices in uk. sorry about the confusion

WEll by looking at this website, www.scan.co.uk is it possible for you to determine how much? If not, can you at least help me to get the power supply for 4870 1gb, because im not sure if i will get right one, because of these SLI or what ever connections.

get the 550watt if you will have single graphics card. get one of the 650watt models if you plan on having two.

no problem. good to see that you are still under your original 200-220 budget.
