Aria was doing 5830's for £60 last week don't know if they still are though. If they are that will be the best card you can get for the money.

5830 for £60 - a bargain at that price. They were £150+ 6 months ago...

Just checked and they are now £69.99 LINK if you can afford the extra £20 it's worth it I doubt you will get a better card for less.

is it better than the 4850 though?

Yep, I think it's slightly better than a 4890.

Check comparisons here LINK

checked and i building it for bro he says he cant afford the extra 20 only £55 max so whats the best for that HD 4870?

In terms of performance highest first

4890>5830>5770>4870>4850 so if you can get a 4870 for ~£50 i'd go for that.

you bro says he can't afford the extra £20, so why doesn't he just hold out a little longer and save up the extra £20. surely it won't take that long to save 20 quid.

if you shop around you could get a much better card 2nd hand from forum for sale sections or even fleabay.
