I am upgrading my CPU (i5 2500k), motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3 INTEL Z68) and ram (G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3) and have been told my current graphic card (ATI saphine 4870HD 1GB) will be a bottleneck, in preformace.

I am hoping to take gaming back up on the PC, (Call of Duty Black Ops onwards, F1 2011 (when it comes out) and some other), as well as general tasks. I am also hoping to future proof my PC for the next few years.

System will be running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, at a res of 1920x1080

But only have about £130 (maybe able to push to £150) to spend, on a graphic card.
