There's a Sapphire 7850 2GB for £150 at Amazon. With free shipping, it ends up being less expensive than the MSI card from Scan. The customer reviews for it are very positive, and Sapphire is generally agreed to be a good quality brand. The only downside compared to MSI is 1 year shorter warranty.

Don't want to be annoying or anything , but in some reviews it said that the sapphire cards have a common problem and it needs to be restarted every 3-4 hours , only if you have the issues thought so is it worth it ?

Most of the reviews mention no issues, and those that do are almost certainly overrepresented. People who have issues with the card are more likely to write a review than people who get a product that works as advertised.

If you're unlucky and happen to get a bad card, you're covered by Amazon's return policy - just return it and replace with a similar card or get your money back and buy the MSI 7850 (£163). The photo on Amazon is inaccurate, this is the card being sold
