Lo Guys , can anyone recommend a GTX which hits the following criteria :

1) Minimum of 24 month Warranty
2) Good over clocker ( seen good reviews for the Leadtek )
3) Would not mind a game in the bundle
4) sub £350 notes

I don't actually need one atm but me thinks HL2 episode will stretch my 7600 GT if I load up the eye candy & with sooooo many nice games coming out in November it might be time now to take the plunge .

I saw them Craig & thought OEM = 12 month warranty v's paying £20 more & getting a branded one with two year warranty & a couple of games.
Now if Dell are dumping stock then that might make it worth a punt . Did you get the Dell one mate & if so how well does it over clock ?

You might find this article of interest - no prices though. Several offer lifetime and second owner cover which is worth remembering.

Thanks Toma - the Leadtek looks even more compelling now
