Before I do this answer some questions for me please:
1. What games do you play?
2. How long do you want the system to last you?

Thanks just want to get a good idea before I spend 20 mins or so looking for you mate

I play TF2. The budget range is £500. It said earlier. I want it to last for 5 years.

TF2 is definitely nowhere near as resource hungry as most modern games so i'd hit these h/w off Ebuyer UK ^^

To put things to perspective: the benches above are from 2007 and the HD 5670 is nipping at the 9800/8800GT at a far far lower power consumption level hehe
