I would go for the 9700non-pro.
To turn it into a 9700pro you just have to overclock it to 9700pro clock speeds.

I'd defenitly go for the 9700 non pro to. It's without a doubt the best buy for your budget.
Maybe you could find a shop in the Netherlands which ships to the UK, Club3D R9700's are being sold for as low as £135!

i have been able to find a 9700np for about 145 pounds which is really cheap but the card is made by powercolor, does this make a difference because i have heard some bad things about them?
or should i just stick with the sapphire 9700np which is 179 pounds?
thanks for your help :D
komplett.co.uk do good prices on those cards.

I'd get the sapphire then. They seem to overclock really well.
just depends on how much you need the $30.

Yea, ive loved every sapphire card ive had.
Sapphire seem a more "respectable" make than powercolour. Id check to see what quality the RAM is on each cards before deciding.
