No that looks like a good match to me.

I dont know UK pricing being from Australia, but I'd recommend getting a GTX560Ti or a GTX570 if you're on a budget. they're cheap as chips nowadays and solid performers! Also the Corsair TX series is great for a solid reliable PSU on a budget.

the gtx560ti is about the same price as the 7850, the question is what is the better performer? from what ive seen the 7850 seems to be the slightly better one but im not too sure

 

[Master&Puppet]

7870>570>7850>560

 

[Luke_21]

does the really 570 outperform the 7850? there pretty much the same price too

It's very close between the two, but overall the 570 is a tad better. Here's a comparison: http://www.anandtech...duct/549?vs=518
