    Need advice on an upgrade

    Does anyone know anything about the Gainward GeForce 6800GS "Goes Like Hell" 512MB GDDR3 TVO card. My current graphics card is dieing on me so ive got to get a new one but is there any other graphics card for roughly the same price (£150) that's better (i just want to get the best for my money). Also could you recommend a power supply as well that will run this card or any other card that gets recommended my current supply is only 250W so I'm certain ill need a new p.s.u. .

    Note:- I'm not interested in overclocking at all i just want to stick the card in with the minimum amount of trouble and play bf2 on descent settings and maybe get to use the card to run bf2124 if i decided to buy that game. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

    p.s. I'm in the UK aswell so any links to uk sites would be much appreciated.

    Since you were looking at the GS I take it you have AGP? If you do have AGP, you are restricted in your choice of graphics cards so its either 7800GS or 7900GS. If you are getting a new card, upgrading your ram to 2 gigs would be advantageous.

    PSU wise I recomend at leat 400W, something like the Enermax Liberty 400W ELT400AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU £48.12.
