So i'm thinking of buying a new graphics card to replace my GeForce GT 240. I'm having a hard time deciding between the GTX 550ti and the GTX 460, The GTX 560 is out of the list because its 200$ and a lot more expensive than the two i mentioned. I have a 500W PSU and my motherboard is a Biostar N68S3+. If any of you guys know a better card for the money then please respond
No, I don't recommend you buying the AMD HD 6850, buy the 6870 instead since you will loose more performance than the money you saved, so a 6870 has a better $/performance ratio than the 6850.

6850 is around the same performance as the 1Gb 460 and just below a 6870 the way pricing is at the moment its worth the extra for the 6870 unless you find a bargain on the 6850.

I still have a 500W PSU which i'm afraid it will die after 6 months with the 6870. I also have only 2 of those 4pin connectors on my PSU
Looking at Xilence PSUs there are a number of models and they seem to be low-medium quality. On the label on it what power rating does it give for the 12V rail or rails? For example this has 2 rails rated at 15A & 16A (Which is low for what they label as a 600W PSU)

I also forgot to ask how much 4pin connectors do i need for the HD 6850 and the GTX 460?
