Hello experts!

I have started buying components for my new light gaming/ engineering 3D applications rig and the main components so far are:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Six-core Processor - 3.20 GHz
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO - AMD 890GX - Socket AM3
Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1600C9 DDR3 XMS3 8GB

I was wondering what is the best value GPU available at the moment to complement my system, for £100 +/- 10%?

Also I was having trouble deciding which PSU to use, I am kind of stuck between:

OCZ 600W ModXStream Pro Power Supply: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-600W-ModXStream-Power-Supply/dp/B001GLFD54/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1307882411&sr=8-2

and

Corsair CMPSU-600CX 600W: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMPSU-600CX-600W-Power-Supply/dp/tech-data/B0045Y1EKC/ref=de_a_smtd

Do you guys have experience on which would be better?

Thank yo very much :)

Wow this seems like great value! Is this a reputable website? I am a bit concerned as everywhere else the HD 5850 costs £150+?

Yes OcUK is a reputable site, I'm not sure why HD 5850's are shooting back up in price, but they could easily be found at the £100 mark a few months ago.
