Hello

I'm looking to buy a new graphics card for my system.

ASRock AM3 M3A770DE
Phenom II x2 560 (unlocks to a quad)
Corsair TW3X4G1333C9A XMS3 4GB x2
Sapphire 11168-02-20R HD 5670 512MB
CiT 480W Power Supply

Can anyone recommend a graphics card under £120 that can run games like crysis 1 & 2 , fallout 3, Fallout New Vages on high or max setting with a minimum of 30 fps.

I saw a Sapphire 6850 for £119. Is that a good card?

Thanks

if you can swing an extra 6 pounds, this 6870 is a good buy

That said, I agree with rockxdude that your PSU is cause for concern.
This XFX would be a great, fairly low cost upgrade, with nearly double the amps on the 12V rails. It would be hard to get any better, or even close, for less money.

It's not as good as the XFX, but still good and far beyond what you have.
