where are you from? I know places in the uk that have 4770's in stock. If not uk buy something as good as you can afford. gtx260's are cheap as chips these days

Otherwise, that 4770 and 4830 are good choices. Either one is great. IMO since you're looking at them just stick with ATI and don't worry about nVidia cards for now so you don't get confused with all the products and such.
My budget is about £120

The 4850 is also a good choice. It is more powerful than the 4770 and it only costs about $100. (Which is £61)

Also, I would always suggest looking at competitors products (ie, nVidia), however right now nVidia doesn't offer very good products for this price range if you consider price/power.

I hear'd that the 4830 and the 4850 are basically the same. but I might be wrong, i'll check them out

Correction, $100 is 61 pounds. I thought £ was euros not pounds :P

For $130 (£80) you can get the 4870 which is MUCH more powerful than the 4850. However this card will be overkill for what you want.

These are all US prices though, I have no clue where to buy stuff from in the UK.

Yea, I think I'm going to go for the 4850. also, my CPU will probably bottleneck, so do you think I should try OC my CPU? 2.7 Ghz atm I think.

I don't think one 4850 will be bottlenecked by that CPU. Even if it did it wouldn't matter unless you are maxing out your card.
