Overclocking is not risky at all you just need to know what your doing and understand thermal limits etc. I custom built maybe 100 high end pc yet to have single cpu failure and were talking 4-5ghz 24/7 overclocks

AMD bulldozer is terrible stick with older phen's why do you think there selling bulldozer at £79 and his mobo does not support it anyway

Another common myth you dont need million watt psu to run high end, good quilty is what you want yours will do fine for small u/g
Anyhow has no one asked what res the op is running on his monitor regarding the gfx card

For £80 I could be persuaded to give up one of my three GTX460's

P.S. Needs two six pin power connectors, but is quiet and fast. Dual DVI-D VGA and HDMI present. 1 Gb Pallit Sonic ( 700 MHz etc )

I have just upgraded my Radeon 4870 x2 (Review-clicky) HD today to the new 7970. You can have mine for £60 delivered if you want it.
