Please recommend a new gfx card for me

[mighty_moll]

Ok overclocked my Q6600 and OCZ RAM today and im quite happy with the results. The only thing letting me down now is my gfx card. Its an nVidia geForce 8600 GT

Im looking for something around the £150 mark but may go a little higher and it should be ATI just in case i want to get another and crossfire later on. What are my options guys - is this realistic or should i get saving? Tbh - i dont want anything massivly powerful thats going to bottleneck in my system.

Hi mate, Found this whilst googling,

apparently the 4890s are noisy as hell so this Version has a cooler quieter fan and isnt much more, a fiver I think! Free delivery @ £155... Not bad at all.

I went ahead and bought the XFX XT one mate but thanks for the info - anyone else that reads this thread may find it useful The only noise i've noticed from the card is just a the graphics get intense it does this sort of pitched powerup noise.
