With a monitor that size, I'd think a 4850 would be a better choice over a 4870, and would save £70. You could always add another card later anyway. Other than that it looks great Mitch.

Ya on a single slot 4850 we get around 450 fps in wow and 120 minimum, with everything maxed out and 16xaa.
depends what your gunna be playing and how future proof you want it to be. also bear in mind thats not a normal 4870 its the special 1GB edition with much faster memory and twice as much of it.
But the memory is only for people running 2560*xxxx really not going to be a major perfomance difference from 512mb on sub 1920*1200 and 16xaa/af.
Depends what game you're playing ofc, but I agree that the 1GB 4870 is overkill on a 19", unless the cost increase from a 512MB 4870 is insignificant.

the price difference is only £20 from 512meg and 1gb - the point of the 1gb was more for future proofing really. with that setup you should be able to not need to upgrade the computer for a year at least and itll still perform awsomley on new games.
Yeah that's probably worth it then.

Get a job, earning £500 won't take long xD.
