might be a better option for you to get a newer card stealth, the newer generation nvidia gtx 5** series have really good cooling and take alot less power.
or even the 4** series
overclockers.co.uk have got maunfacture refurbed ones with 1 year warranty at really good prices

ahh thanks mate :)
which is the best buy on there ?
i was under the impression to upgrade from my current card would cost about £100, my current card is oc'd to death, so would i see an improvement with a card from that link that costs about £60 ?

they had some 5** series cards a couple of weeks ago which are much better. they dont use as much power and get alot less hot! but they tend to sell very quick!
if you wana stay under £100 then id go for the gtx 460 for £83.99, imo you cant compare the gts 250 to the gtx 460. DO IT!! :D
do your research on the gtx 460 and you will see for the money its a very good card, heres a quote from overclock.net forum.

"As much as I hate to admit it the GTX 460 1GB with a small manufacturer overclock actually rivals, matches and beats my setup.
I don't see SLi'd GTS 250's keeping up.

Not to knock them its a great little GPU, but Nvidia got that little 460 f****r tweaked good."
