Sapphire Radeon 7850 with free Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution for £85.

Well of course it is. Slip of the keyboard.
If a 7850 was available for £85, I'd buy two.

Still a decent deal, like.

The GTX 550 Ti is around £80 on Amazon. Does anyone know if it's any good? I did a theoretical specs check online to see if my system could run DayZ with the aforementioned graphics card, and it said I should be able to run it on High settings. Might beef my RAM up from 3Gb to 8 for around £40, too.
FutileResistor wrote:Cheers for the advice. The 7770 is cheaper, too. I'll definitely look into overclocking my system. Thanks for the advice about the RAM, too. Would I need a new power supply for the graphics card? Amazon reviews suggest not needed as it should run directly off the CPU.Graveland wrote:550 Ti Vs 7770 550Ti is not as good the 7770, as well as being one generation behind.

If you must go with Nvidia, a GTX 650 is not quite as good as a 7770 and normally around £90. A GTX 650Ti is slightly better than a 7770 normally around £105. Nvidia just aren't price-competitive.
Increasing RAM will make no difference at all to your gaming performance, should help with multi-tasking though.
If you can overclock your Q6600 to 3GHz, that would give you a good framerate boost.

@Carlo the Bitfenix Prodigy is a nice case for mini itx and it's not expensive. Also watch out with the gtx 680. You need one witch takes up only 2 slots, most take up 3 slots.
Evga has a two slotter but it only has one fan so I think it's rather noisy.
Asus is releasing a 2 slot 680 with 4 gb and two fans.
This post is unsuitable for those with a high rumour-sensitivity.
