Best GFX for P8Z68-V LX.

[Stompee_Two]

Hi guys was wondering if anyone had any advice to which graphics card to get. I have a Corsair 500 watt "80 Plus" PSU, P8Z68-V LX Mobo, 4GB DDR3 Ram, Intel 2.8Ghz Dual Core G840, Zalman Z11 Case I have a 1600x900 HD Monitor and i plan to play the latest games on med/high setting and watch movies, tv in HD. I currently have a old XFX Nividia 7300 GT. I was thinking about the EVGA 460 GTX Superclocked or even the Radeon 6850, thanks alot.

that would depend on your money, you can go for a 6870 will be great for that system. if you don't want to pay that much stay on 6850. or you can get a little more and expand to a 560 ti.

a 500w corsair will handle any of those.

Thanks, my budget is around £150 but wasent sure if any card would work on my mobo.

Budget ? Though both of these are overkill for 1600 x 900, I can't see getting anything that would crimp ya style when ya upgrade to HD resolutions (1920 x 1080)

Best bang for the buck below $200 = 6870
$160ish after MIR http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=6870&x=0&y=0

Best bang for the buck above $200 = 900 Mhz 560 Ti
$215 220after MIR http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=900Mhz+560+Ti&x=0&y=0

Thanks alot think i will go for the XFX Radeon HD 6870 as its a little cheaper. Its just for a few games like the latest need for speed games, probs cod. I never upgraded my graphics befor so i dont know what the diffrence will be from a old 7300 gt lol.
