Upgrading gpu

[inf]

Hi guys,
A phew months ago i built my self my first pc and since then ive decided to sell my graphic card and get something a bit more
powerfull. atm i have a gtx46 superoverclock with a factory overclock of 815 core. Im hopeing you guys can give me advice on what to get my budget is £225 i dont want to go above that, i wont the best performance for that money. I have a 600watt psu atm so that should be suffient. if u give me links uk currency ones onlly please. Thanks

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: not sure maybe a week or two or a month

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gamiing at 1920x1080 on a 32inch screen, watching movies and regular computer stuff.

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Gigabyte GTX 460 Super OverClock Edition 1GB Dual DVI HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card (bought it from here http://www.ebuyer.com/product/245520?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products ) , be quiet! 600W Straight Power E7 with quad 12v rails and 18amp on each rail)

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Asrock m3a770de mother board, Amd athlon x3 3.1ghz oced to 3.3 and unlocked to x4 core,
Kingston Hyper X 4gb 1600, I have a HAF 922 case

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Ebuyer etc i dont realy care aslong as its in pounds

PARTS PREFERENCES: Would prefer ati since it leaves me cross fire options in the future and dont rly care about physx.

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe not atm just want one card for now

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080, had to resisze it with nvidia controll pannel to 1842x1036 for it to fit my lcd tv screen (Btw i hope ati has a feature for me to do that or i am screwed.)

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: i wont be useing 3 montiors or anything like that, but will expect it to run nrly all games at max resolution and nrly max settings with good fps.

Honestly you'd be better off getting an SLI board and adding a second 460. It would certainly smooth out your FPS at 1080p. Well, if you're going for a single card then a 6950 would be the way to go. If you're lucky, you can flash it to a 6970. You may also want to overclock your CPU a bit more so as not to limit your new GPU. Of course, you may need to loose that 4th core to get a higher overclock, but most games don't see much benefit past 3 cores (yet) and the extra clock speed would certainly help

Thanks for the replys guys,
Would a gtx560 make much of a difference since the gtx460 i have is a super clock and is suposed to have beter performance then a stock gtx470 and yah i can over clock my cpu more. i have a aftermarket cooler on it its a cooler master something forgot sorry. If i drop down to 3 cores it gets a 20c idle and 35c full load . So ill be able to over clock much higher . also i heard u cant flash the bios on a 6950 alot of ppl have had artifacts apearing after a week. Is a 6950 more power full then a gtx560?
I cant go for a sli since that will blow me off my budget since i intend to sell off my gtx460 after i get a new graphic card.
thx guys looking forward to more replys

Wont a 6990 be waaay out of my budget when its out? i was thinking about geting the 6950 and unlocking the stream processors. is it best to wait? because if theres a 6990 coming out soon there will be a price drop on the other cards? Thx

Only possible upgrade you can make is the sli way.
