Graphics Card

sounds really good, do i need to have usb 3.0 and for network facilities is it worth getting the wireless 802.11N for wireless internet capabilities, also what would be the best graphics card down from the GTX480, sorry about all the questions and thanks for the help

Hey,

- USB 3.0 is standard on most Mothrboards these days so you are not paying a premium to have this.

- Wireless N Card is an option, if you connect via wireless then you will need one. This will add £19 to the final price of the PC.

- Next GPU down would probably be the ATI HD 5870, followed closely by the nVidia GTX470.
