What graphics card to buy for 150£ ?

[TheCereaKillerPT]

Hi , I have aa Packard Bell iExtreme (worst deal ever btw ) and it came with a Geforce 330 (OEM).
It runs BF3 but only with everything on low and in 720p, so i want to buy a Graphics Card and i was thinking about the 560ti. Any ideas ? Thanks

PC Specs:

CPU: i5 650 (3.2Ghz)
PSU: 500w
RAM: 6Gb (3x2 Gb )
Mobo: No idea

What does 150£ equal to in USD

If you can get a GTX 560 Ti for 150£, that would be a very very very nice deal. Their price is around 175£ normally. Also, you need to tell us more info about your PSU, wattage isn't enough. Give us brand, model, and amperages.

Unfortunately, the only way to find out things about power supply is to open computer case and take a look at the label.

Don't think you need to know anything, just take note of everything you see written on the label.

Damnit. Your power supply isn't good enough to run GTX 560 Ti. I guess your budget is capped with 150 pounds and you won't be able to spend a bit for a new power supply as well?

6870/560 ti/ 7850 whichever you can grab for 150E (sorry don't know how to type that currency)

And the card , I was thinking about getting this one , but some say that the EVGA version is better . I don't know , because you can overclock this version also , can't u ?

Also , does it come with a DVI to VGA , cause i use my monitor HDMI port to the PS3 and it only has VGA and HDMI

The power supply you linked is shitty. Always go with Quality brand such as Corsair, Antec, OCZ, Seasonic, XFX.

This one is decent: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-048-CS

Thanks ! I'll get that one then. And about the card, what do u think ?

MSI Twin Frozr II is an excellent cooler, and will keep that card cool when you overclock it. Good choice . I personally own a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti, but I would trade it anyday for MSI one as I heard/saw benchmarks of it running cooler.
