Need some advice.

[perak]

Hello, I am looking for some advice on my future system.

I'm pretty sure I want these parts:

AMD Phenom II 965 - £134.98
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) 1600 Mhz DDR3 - £71.98
Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3) Motherboard - £59.98
Antec Three Hundred Case - £49.96
Samsung Spin Point F3 SATAII 1TB - £43.98
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply - £64.99
LiteOn IHAS124-19 24x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer DVD-RAM SATA Black - £13.98

Total: £439.85

However I am unsure which video card I would like to add to my build. I was first looking at the 5770 at £113.99 bringing the total cost to £553.84. (+ Windows 7 Professional @ £45 = £598.84)

The machine will indeed be used for gaming so I was wondering if it was worth considering the GTX 460 or new 6850.

GTX 460 768 MB @ £125.98 (Total cost now = £610.83)
GTX 460 1GB @ £144.98 (Total cost now = £629.83)
6850 @ £159.99 (Total cost now = £644.84) - I don't really want to spend this much.. I'd rather spend nearer to the 600 mark.

So, what do you think? Is it worth buying the gtx 460 for an extra £10 or so or even the 1gb version at a slightly higher price?

All prices are from Novatech as it is where I will be buying from. (Easy store pick-up.) Please feel free to suggest any changes in the actual pc build aswell although I think it looks pretty good.

Thanks.

GTX 460 1GB is worth it over the 768MB. The HD6850 looses out on price alone.
