The X1600 Pro is one of the better low-mid range cards for gaming, however for a better gaming experience and to compliment your nice rig, I would spend the extra £40 and go for the X1950 Pro instead.

No not me personally, However i have read far too many stories of them going pop after a while, Thats not to say yours will of course.

£120, right, will see what can be found.

That is far too nice a spec to waste if you want to game.
