Build Advice What graphics card for this setup ??

Hey guys, I posted a thread earlier of some parts I was thinking of getting and was looking for a bit of help.

Now I've been having a scan of the net, having a read etc. and want to know what graphics card I should get for this setup, I am aware of then new ATI's but does anyone have any prices or know when they will hit the shops in the uk ?

I have always wanted to build a kick ass gaming pc, now I have the money i'm not going to make a half assed job of it, I want the real deal (for my budget ofc)

Here's what I have so far

Case: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148685
CPU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/151477
mobo: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159455
CPU cooler: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/116412
memory: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152640
HDD: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129413
PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152604
DVD drive: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134324

I don't think I have forgot anything, let me know if I have, now all I need is the graphics card, My budget for the graphics card/s is £250


Now bear in mind this is my first build so go easy on me

Also please correct me if any parts don't go together with any other parts please

 

could you post an image of the basket? cant be bothered clicking on every link tbh!

 

I'd say get an ATI 4870 or 4890.
Or if you prefer nVidia, a 275 or something similar.

 

All looks pretty good to me... nearly the same setup as me.

Only one thing - wrong CPU Cooler type - you picked an AMD
try this - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152658

I got everything from Scan - they do daily deals & it does work out cheaper..
They have a ASUS Deluxe v2 for £195.49 on today's specials.

It could save you a few quid so worth a look.

 

Thank's for the help so far guys, btw I am using a 22" monitor and will be playing crysis on high settings, will the above graphics cards combined with my choices eat it up ???

So what is the best gaming graphics card I can get for £250 ??

I have seen the ones above, not ignoring them

Edit: I really like the look of this as mentioned above http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/2GB-...GPU-750MHz-1600-Cores-CrossFire-2x-DLDVI-HDTV seems brilliant

Also does that ^^ have a built in sound card or will I need to buy one ?

 

Soundcard - The ASUS has a very good 7.1 setup on it.

Graphics - I'm an Nvidia man - 275 for that money or 2x260
Nice card though..
This is what's on the Aug lists: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2009/04/03/radeon-hd-4890-vs-geforce-gtx-275/1

i play on a 22" Dell @1920x1080 - all looks great

 

edit:read your sentence wrong, thankyou

 

change your dvd drive to this as the one you chose was IDE the old version you want sata

also that power supply you have chosen isn't modular and its a overkill so go for this one
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114941
and for gpu i would wait as direct x11 comes out next week

 

Thankyou, how will the x11 compare to the one i chose both price wise and performance wise ??

 

Most new games will be developed with DX11, so the card is futureproof. Also, the new cards are produced with the 40nm manufacturing process, which means less power usage and less heat.

The cards should have huge performance gains.

Ok I will hold off for a couple weeks

 

I'd go with GTX 275, great card and would compliment the rest of your system pretty well
