I'm looking to upgrade from:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-175-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=168

But I'm not too clued up about them. What are the features you need to look out for, as I'm guessing MB doesn't matter due to some 1GB cards costing 4 times more than another 1GB card.

Budget is about £120. PCI-E slot.

if you can stretch to it or find the same card cheaper somewhere else this is probs the best bet.

You might wanna check if your PSU can handle it first though.

Nath, give me a shout when you've decided what card you want to get and I can sort you out with a price if you like.

Most cards now are around the 150-190w idle and around 250-450w at load, a 600w PSU would be ideal but you'd get a way with a decent 450w.

As for cards, the ATI 6850 (Asus EAH6850 is the card to go for, best all-rounder) is decent but only if you overclock it otherwise it loses out to Nvidia GTX460/470/480's. MSI GTX460 would be worth looking at, can get decent overclocks out of them and are slightly cheaper than the 6850's.

Edit - Have a look on the OCuk forums, loads of info in the Graphic Card section.
