I found 2 GPUs which i might get, they are both the same price but i dont know which is better in terms of performance and reliability (i can build a PC but im no expert), i do use my PC for quite a lot of gaming

so which one is the better one.

Asus GeForce 8600GT 512MB PCI-E(x16) Silent GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI EN8600GT Silent/HTDP/512M Graphics Card


Sapphire ATI Radeon 512MB HD4670 , PCI-E 2.0 (x16), 2000 MHz GDDR3, GPU 750 MHz, 320 Cores, 2x DL DVI/HDTV

if you have any suggestions regarding a better GPU then please tell me but im not rich so i cant go to crazy with the money (these 2 cost £55 which is about $100, i could go a bit higher if its worth it)

The HD4670 is a much better card, and I don't believe you'll find something like the 9800GT for anywhere near that price in the UK (closer to 100 quid if my memory serves). The 9600GSO is a little better, but if it's over 70 quid I wouldn't bother with it either.

An 8600gt is pretty much not worth getting right now.
