    Looks good but you could do a bit better on the graphics card. The cheapest GTX 560 is the same price, but I'd be looking at a 6870 as they're cheaper but close in performance. With the extra 50 or so in your budget, you could even make a 6950.

    Shipping is €30 regardless of how much you order.

    Do you recommend the 6870 then? There are so many on the site I have no idea what to get.

    I've heard the 460 is quite good with overclocking. How is the 6870 compared to this?

    I've had my eye on the 460 for a while as I've heard it's a very good card.

    The 460 is good for overclocking but you won't get much on top of a card that's overclocked already. It's a good card but not the best for your money. The 6870 wouln't be fantastic at overclocking, but it should beat the 460 with a small margin.
    Pick any one. There's not a huge amount of difference. Asus are good.
