So the Current build that im working on for a friend is...

CPU: AMD 965 BE
RAM: 4GB Kingston
MOBO: ASUS M5A78L-M
Heatsink: Hyper 212+
HDD: 1TB 7200RPm 16mb cache
GPU: ?????
PSU ?????

So this brings me to my question im looking at buying an ATI Graphics card im leaning towards a 6850 ive come across these two could someone please give me some decent input about the two?

Link2: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

At this point in the build he has around 180 to spend and still needs a decent GPU and PSU i was wondering if i could buy one of these and a decent 650w PSU for 60?

Btw i think the equiv of 180 is like $250 somthing in that region

We do have all the other things like case ,mouse and keyboard just thought i'd put in the main components.

The XFX 6850 has a lifetime warranty.

decent 650w PSU for 60?


Too bad that you're in the UK..NCIX has this 650w Antec for $44. Great deal. Very high quality PSU as well.

@Generation

The XFX is only a good choice if you live in North America, If you live in Europe the warranty is only 1-3 years. (?)
