Get a 280(x) as you'll go through 2GB's insanely quick.

280x is £170, 290 is only £30. 280x isn't a logical purchase IMHO.

OP-Why remove the SSD?

A little under £15 over budget will get you this;

You'll be using stock cooler, but it'll be fine.

Didn't have to be a 280x i was mainly referring to the 280 you can also pick 7950/70 of ebay for cheap.

Oh yeah, that makes more sense I've been seeing a few hella cheap 7950's to be fair.

OP-The 285 rig with a 7950 instead would be a good shout if you can get one.
