New thread as my other one is off topic.
My PC
CPU: Intel 6600 2.4ghz
Motherboard: asus p5n-e sli
Graphics: 8500gt (to be changed)
RAM: 4gb Corsair
PSU: Colorsit 550W (to be changed)
I am getting a new GPU and am changing my PSU on the advice of members on here.
Is this deal for a GTX 260 AT £126 too good to miss?

I know many people suggest the 4870 over it but i haven't seen a 4870 for anything near as cheap as this and i hear the GTX 260 is quieter and cooler than the 4870, that is important to me and i would be willing to substitute a bit of performance for that. What do you think.?
I am torn about my PSU, weighing up price/performance which would you take
OCZ 500w modxstream pro @ £49

Corsair 550w VX series @ £69
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies/500w+%2B/Corsair+550W+VX+Series+PSU+?productId=29383
Is the Corsair worth the extra £20 or would the OCZ so just fine?
What are peoples thoughts? Will they work in my system by the way as well? feel free to suggest alternatives.
Also i hear that changing a graphics card is relatively easy but how hard is changing a PSU? I have no tech skill so am i up for a tough time?
Cheers
