The X1600 PRO's a decent card...

I'd recommend the X800 GTO, it performs better and is probably cheaper.

If you gave me a budget I could find you a better card.

Around £100 (pounds)

Well... Newegg doesn't ship to the UK, so I can't really help much...

For ~£100 though, you can probably get a 7600GT, which is better than both the X1600 PRO and X800 GTO.

Crappy? Loud, perhaps, but it depends mostly on the manufacturer.

you can probably find it at tiger direct though for about the same price.....i think that tigerdirect is the english site, but i know they have a uk site, but i can't remeamber the name of it.

Geforce 8800 GTX OC will be the best choice =P

Anyways, if you're looking to buy online, check out this card:

If there's a PC shop near you, you might wanna check that out first. All the PC shops I've been too overprice their merchandise quite a bit...

Well, if you don't want to spend too much...

any form of x800's will do... or yeah, the x1600 Pro!

x1650 Pro (y)
