what is your budget? Your motherboard and cpu can work with almost any graphics card as long as it fits in the case. Tell us your budget, psu name and model, case and resolution of your monitor.

the budget for graphics card is around £150 (£170 max probably) - i'm going to look aorund for a full HD Monitor as mine at the moment is a basic Dell VGA only connection ^^
i'm thinking about this PSU

and maybe this case

looking at the pictures, i think the hard drive is installed at the back, would this get in the way of the motherboard/graphics? or am i looking at it wrong?

a gtx 660 would be your best choice it would max out almost any games. MSI twin frzr model also comes with free copy of assassins creed 3

otherwise you can get the gtx650 ti http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/nvidiageforcegraphicscards/nvidiagtx650tikeplerseries/01g-p4-3652-kr.html

or if you like amd get the hd7850 direct cu II model

I would really recommend the gtx660 in this instance.

many thanks, i'm going to purchase the GeForce GTX 660
will the case be ok that i mentioned? i assume there'll be enough space considering it states there's room for long graphics cards, many thanks for your help
