I would go with XFX http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...=GCX-XNGTS2501 , even if it means paying £10+

***EDIT***
I would still rather go with ATI, because imo, all Nvidia cards are overpriced.

You can overclock a card yourself. However, i would recommend going with an Ati card at this price point:

Best card for the money right now IMO, similar performance to a HD4890, DirectX11, overclocks well.

Also guys...i wouldnt rank Asus up there with XFX and EVGA, if you have ever dealt with Asus support you will know exactly what im talking about.

Quite easily....the GTS250 is just a 9800gtx for all intents and purposes. On the other hand, the 4770 beats out a gtx275 in most tests.
