	I think the 4890 has similar performance to the GTX280, and they cost about £300. EDIT: You might have to get DDR3 RAM, as not many AM3 motherboards support DDR2. ------------------- Core i5-2500K 4.5GHz \| 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 \| Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P \| Asus GTX 460 1GB DirectCU \| Mushkin Callisto 40GB & 3TB of HDDs \| XFX 650W XXX Edition \| CM 690 II \| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 \| LG 20" 1680x1050

	oh... but could you recommened me a motherboard that is compatible with all those components on ebuyer.com? And as for the graphic card... that kinda expensive for me £300. Is there a good graphic card from £0-£150 which is better than the graphic card I listed on the first post? -------------------

	What I was saying is that the Nvidia equivalent costs loads more. Get the 4890 . I searched through ebuyer for a bit, but I couldn't find a motherboard that has an AM3 socket to support your processor and also has DDR2 memory support. I did find this though. ------------------- Core i5-2500K 4.5GHz \| 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 \| Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P \| Asus GTX 460 1GB DirectCU \| Mushkin Callisto 40GB & 3TB of HDDs \| XFX 650W XXX Edition \| CM 690 II \| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 \| LG 20" 1680x1050

	No quote Product Description Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600* (OC) SDRAM, 16GB Max You need one that supports DDR2 memory, or you could buy some DDR3 memory and have done with it. ------------------- Core i5-2500K 4.5GHz \| 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 \| Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P \| Asus GTX 460 1GB DirectCU \| Mushkin Callisto 40GB & 3TB of HDDs \| XFX 650W XXX Edition \| CM 690 II \| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 \| LG 20" 1680x1050

	The motherboard you linked a few posts up would work properly with that RAM. Only thing is, I would definitely get 2 sticks of that RAM if I were you. 2GB is not really enough for a decent gaming rig nowadays. ------------------- Core i5-2500K 4.5GHz \| 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 \| Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P \| Asus GTX 460 1GB DirectCU \| Mushkin Callisto 40GB & 3TB of HDDs \| XFX 650W XXX Edition \| CM 690 II \| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 \| LG 20" 1680x1050

	Nope, the only difference would be the ram, but since there's virtually no performance gain noticed from going from ddr2 to ddr3, it's not really a factor. -------------------

	Doesn't it need to be a specific AM2+ motherboard to support AM3 CPUs? Not all of them do it, right? ------------------- Core i5-2500K 4.5GHz \| 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 \| Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P \| Asus GTX 460 1GB DirectCU \| Mushkin Callisto 40GB & 3TB of HDDs \| XFX 650W XXX Edition \| CM 690 II \| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 \| LG 20" 1680x1050

	Well the board itself should always work, it's just a matter of the bios supporting it, but I believe all am2+ board should support am3 perfectly. -------------------
