Hi all you gurus and wisemen,
So recently I got myself a fairly decent PSU with the view of updating my graphics card. It's a Tagan 400W with 2 12v rails with 20A on each. It has 1 x 6 pin pcie connector and another that could possibly be another 6 six pin connector or an 8 pin one.
Now my setup is fairly tame, it's a Q6600 with 1 dvd rom and 1 Sata Hdd, with 2 x 2gb Ram sticks. That's it!
So I have my eyes on the following cards,
4850, 4870
GTS 250 or 9800 GTX (they're basically the same, right?)
GTX 260 (although this might be too power hungry for my PSU)
5770
Not interested in the Geforce 4xx as they're way out of my price range, as are most of the 5xxx ATI cards but have managed to find some decently priced 5770s.
I'm in the UK, with a budget of up to £60 max! Any advice would be greatly welcomed, I'm a bit new to the medium/high range bracket of cards and haven't ever had to worry about power beyond that provided by the PCIE slot!
Thanks!
