After much research, and not wanting to spend another £100+ on a slight improvement in frame rate that I won't even be able to detect (40/45FPS) for a 970 I settled on this baby. (Was originally aiming for the 750Ti but as the Ti can outperform a PS4, I figured another £50 for this leap in performance was worth it.)
Initially was going for the 2Gb but been advised 4Gb is a lot better and more future proof with more native 1080p games coming along.
Has 2x DVI so if you're still running old monitors like me, means you don't have to mess with adapters until you upgrade.
Updated to 'Today Only' price, not sure how long this will last.

I was going to get that gfx card but spend a little extra and get Your text here
It's 17% better and has a 3 year guarantee instead of a 1 year.

Off to buy some scrumpy so can't defend this deal for a couple of hours.
Inb4 "Card X was on offer at £156 and is 2FPS faster on game Y".
Basically I reckon the £100-150 price point represents a good balance between price and performance, this card will hold it's own for a few years with iterations slowing down from all manufacturers and nothing new on the horizon until mid 2016.. :man:
