The question is, what should he go for? I'm thinking approx 100 quid.
it will almost certainly be the bottleneck of the system. try running the game in as low a resolution as possible, if the frame rate shoots up then it's definitely the root of the problem!

something 9800 based would be a good bet, might get a pro for that money.

yes, but the effect would be far less noticable. you could maybe just about get both for £100, if you shop around
