And that Card isnt that cheap...It's the normal price for the MSI 7900 GTO, which I wouldnt recommend.  _________________ . The Road!

Yea and you can get a 7950 512mb for around that price from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/7900_Series.html
Trick is to look around a little more, but Novatech usaully does have pretty much good prices, maybe a couple quid more than the rest but the service is good.. _________________

The "OcUK Galaxy GeForce 7950 GT OC SILENT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/HDCP/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-044-OK)" looks decent and for a fair price in my range too.

But what is the feedback on OcUK products? _________________

ocuk generaly good, usually exchange dodgy goods with minimum fuss as they expect stuff to be overclocked etc. But they do test returns, which can take time and stops too many peeps taking the urine. http://www.novatech = very good value for money, especially if you live close 
ps excuse drunken spelling

Still I recommend getting the ATi (Or should that be AMD) X1900 XT 512Mb...As it beats the 7950 in most things... _________________ .The Road!

I heard Ernemax is good. But I can see the prices are set quite high for a 500 watt PSU from them. Haven't looked at the Seasonics yet.

Dont bother with the ATI, there are benchmark stats on DailyTech showing that the new G80 chipset 8800GTX card pwns the X1950 XTX by anywhere from 52% - 92%, depending on which test it is.
On the PSU front I bought a Hiper 580w type R which has been steady as a rock since I recieved it. It is true what they say though, you get what you pay for, so dont be cheap and get your wallet out! _________________
