Hi guys,

I want to buy a new gpu for my pc.

CPU: Core i7-860
M/B: Asus p7p55-lx
PSU: Thermaltake 500W (a little bit small, I think)
Monitor: LG 23" w2361v

After searching on the web I found that for my badget I can buy either 1 gtx 460 or 1 hd 6850.
Particularly, I can find these gpus:

AMD
Asus Radeon HD 6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5 1GB
MSI Radeon HD 6850 OC 1GΒ GDDR5 R6850-PM2D1GD5/OC

NVIDIA
MSI GeForce GTX 460 1GB (N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC)
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460 OC - 1024 MΒ GDDR5 (GV-N460OC-1GI)

on approximately the same price.

I would appreciate if you could help me to make a choice. Although I am not an extreme gamer, I want to be able to play in the best possible quality for my bagdet. Furthermore, I want a reliable and effiecient card which will be as sufficient as possible for the next 2-3 years.

As for the budget, I can spend ~170 euros.
All the cards I mentioned can be found in my place at 170-175 euros
