Yup and 1.5 TB, you can install a bunch of F0o mods. Since F03 has a problem with ram and stuff, install this, its going to help alot. FO3 configator is good to to configure your fallout 3 settings. Hope this helps.

i am not really looking to install mods, but maybe make some weapons using the geck, i ordered the game from play.com the other day still hasn't come yet.

Do you think i could play it with the highest settings?

Certainly not. It's only intended for video playback in HTPC (home entertainment) systems, not for gaming, so it cannot be expected to equal a two year old high end card already.

The 430 and 530 are the same:

If you wanted more, you should have been buying a more powerful card.

Gorath, i have been playing many games on this pc medium settings, even BF3 runs smooth on high settings, and Left 4 Dead 2 runs smooth, TF2, Far Cry 2, GMOD, Grand theft auto IV runs smooth but on medium settings, i was just wondering what i could get out of fallout 3 as it is such a huge game.

I have the chance to upgrade to a 560 ti for £100 is it worth it?

Would be a significant upgrade that would max out the game, but make sure your power supply is good enough to take it.
