Hello im from the uk.

CONFUSED -
which would be the best video card could I get in the £50-£60 range?

5670, 440 or something?? Also I see these cards have low power usage at 65W~ which is pretty impressive, low power usage isnt mandatory tho. I dont mind buying 2nd hand or new, has to be in price range.

ALL THESE NEW GFX NUMBERS GOT ME CONFUSED MAN!

there u go bro^

My first priority would be to replace the WinPower PSU with a good quality unit.

 

[T23GUY]

That does not answer my question? Dont worry about my psu, what good card can I get in the range?

 

[T23GUY]

? Erm.........

Ive bought this PSU:

Antec 520W High Current Gamer PSU - +12V @ 40A
Antec 520W High Current Gamer PSU - 80plus Bronze.. | Ebuyer.com

which graphics card should I get now? Best card in the £50-£60 range?

Well it was stated that you should change the power supply to a quality unit not a worse one. If you have the ability I would return that antec power supply for an actual good one.

Corsair 650W TX Series PSU - 120mm Fan, 80.. | Ebuyer.com

Now provided your getting the recommended power supply, a gt 440 would be ok with the system , however with the age of the components I would simply just get another 8800 used off ebay. Don't run it off off that winpower or antec power supply or you'll simply fry this 8800 as well.

 

[T23GUY]

Huh? I thought antec IS quality? I thought at least 26A was needed on the 12v rail for pci express. Not flippin 60A or sumthin..

How much is corsair payin you guys to reccomend there products lol?

 

[Tyree]

We only recommend PSU's that we know to be top quality to insure the hardware has sufficient clean power to avoid damage.
Antec changes suppliers to frequently to be considered a reliable vendor.
SeaSonic-XFX-Corsair are top quality.

edit. didnt see it was broke

I purchased a Gainward 9800GT 1GB Green edition, runs at 75W.

Got it off ebay for £52 including postage.

What do ya think of this card, would it be better than a radeon HD 5670 ?

 

[emosun]

It would probably be about the same.

The Nvidia chipped GPU is the better option for the Nvidia chipped Mobo.
