"Choose my new graphics card..."

Right. I want a new graphics card. One that will be able to play with everything on high settings. I'm thinking that perhaps ATi would be the best path to choose, but have no idea what to go for.

Not wanting to spend anymore than £300 really. And I'm thinking about buying 512mb more RAM aswell. So what would be my best options with/without the RAM?

Thank ye all.

+ VAT = £145

You only need an 9600XT to play HL2 on full settings - Around £100, [URL]http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=122900&cks=SPK [/URL].

However, probably your best option (and surprisingly cheap and without frills at OCuK) is the 9800PRO - £120, top one, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ [space] acatalog/9700_to_9800_Series.html.

For more RAM, can't go wrong with GEIL Value RAM. 512MB = £55 including VAT, from OCuK, with PC3200 and CL2.5 ...

Then add around £75 to your budget. Can't be arsed with finding prices, I'm sure someone here will though.

Prices people. Prices!
*ahem*

And say I was going to buy this 512MB RAM... What then?

The X800T, or the GeForce 6800. Mmmmm.
