Hello. I think that it is time for me to upgrade my graphics card and I need help on deciding which to purchase. I currently have an Nvidia GeForce 9500GS which is getting dated and basically, is rubbish. I need help on what would be a better graphics card (preferably under £150) that I could replace it with. I was looking into the GeForce GTS 250 as it is relatively cheap and has got quite a few good reviews. It needs: -To have a HDMI socket on the back (sometimes connect to TV) -Be in the price range (preferably under £150) -Run current games such as COD6, GMOD, AVP3, Left 4 Dead, and Serious Sam HD at above average settings -Run future games such as Crysis 2 at good if not average settings I’m currently using a prebuilt MEDION desktop computer: Quad core Q6600 2.4GHz processor 3 GB ram 32bit Windows Vista Premium Nvidia GeForce 9500GS GPU Monitor native resolution 1280 by 1024 I also do not have great knowledge with graphics cards (especially ATI cards, used Nvidia all my life), so please comment in simple language. :) (I live in England). Thanks for any help in advance.

I've had bad experience with OcUK. Maybe avoid ordering from there? Might just be me.
