I was going to originally go for a Radeon HD 6850, I saw a review of the PNY GTX 460 that said it was easily overclocked on more than one occasion without any extra cooling, and it was also cheaper than the HD 6850, so would you say that was a good decision?

EDIT: I found this at my local store:
scan.co.uk/products/1gb-evga-gtx-460-sc-super-3800mhz-gddr5-gpu-763mhz-shaderclock-1526mhz-336-cores-dvi-i-minihdmi
Is that the Superclocked 460 you were referring to?
that would be one of them, yea. there are a bunch of difference versions, i dont know the exact differences but they are much better than the original stock gtx 460's
That seems to be the only one Scan have in stock, but it's had very good reviews! I shall buy a Superclocked edition instead, thank you for the recommendation
Depends on the resolution. I play at 1680x1050 Ultra 4xAA/16xAF on a GTX275, and it doesn't drop below 50 in Stormwind at prime time (powered by a 4.2GHz i5-2500K), so at least that.
I play at 1920x1080, and right now I play at low settings with projected textures turned on and view distance turned up. So even if I used just highs ettings I am sure I will be happy
