Just decided to come back to PC gaming after a few years off. So brought myself a cheap rig and now I am starting to look at a few upgrades. And I have realised haven't got a clue any more.

So I am wondering about a new mid-price PCIe graphic card £100-£150 range to replace my pathetic Geforce 8500GT. Any decent recomadations?

nah we pay more for products so if something costs about $200 we can pay anything from 140-180 depending on how much someone wants to rip us off lol.

You may also want to consider the 9600GT if you can find a good offer.
