Yes, I was here asking stupid PC related questions the other day, I'm back again. (And will be back again in the future no doubt.) But I want to make sure I'll be getting a decent budget build basically. Here's what I'm looking at at them moment.

AMD FX6300
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
Crucial BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2)

Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX660 2GB DDR5 PCI-E Graphics Card

Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch)
Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Unit
Aerocool Strike-X One Screwless Mid Tower Gaming Case

(I'll probably be getting an external optical drive, and a wireless adapter.)

So, leading up to my question - What's the best possible graphics card for 150, I'll have a little leeway for cost, but not a lot. The reason I say this is because I don't want "If you're getting 'x' then you should spend 'x' more and get 'x' instead." in a continuous cycle of over-expensiveness.

Also, feel free to tell me a better monitor than the BenQ GL2460 24 inch Widescreen LED Monitor for 110, or something as good for less. If you want to!

Thanks.

I'd say GTX660 if you can get one with a decent cooler. I think i saw a Gigabyte on for 147GBP earlier on.

EDIT: Or MSI whatever...

I'll have a further look into them both tomorrow, see if I can get them for a price I like. Once again, thanks everyone.

The GTX660 is definitely the best card at that price point unless you want to spend a little more for a 7870LE.

Seriously, buy this. It is 6 pounds over budget but is so much better than anything else for that price.
