Help me out with a new GPU please!
Its ages since I bought, or even had a look at, graphics cards. Currently got 2x4850 in x-fire and running a samsung 24" screen at native res (which I'm not sure what it is as I'm on the laptop!). They struggled with witcher 2 and I think it's time for a change. Just jumping in randomly I was tempted by either the gainward 570gtx phantom or xfx 7870 core edition as they are similar price wise - 230-250. Any thoughts or better suggestions?

Rather than get the 570 go for the 1.2GB 560ti, it can be overclocked slightly and performs better than 570 and is cheaper. Why I said this here.

Why not try the market place? You should be able to pick up a 580 on there!
