We're into December, folks! Christmas is just around the corner, and if you're looking for gift ideas, we've seen plenty of interesting tech for you to sink your teeth into.

 
 

First up, the big announcement of the week is NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. Launch-day pricing was a little on the high side, but shop around and the not-quite-a-GTX-570 graphics card can now be had for under £220. Unsure if it's the right solution for you? Head on over to our review of Gigabyte's card for all the ins and outs.

Or, if you're looking for somewhere to house your existing kit, take a good look at our review of NZXT's Phantom 410. It's an acquired taste, but if you like the looks, you'll find it offers excellent performance and a good selection of features.

 
 

Need help picking out a PSU? Fear not, we've built an entire test platform to find out which PSUs are worthy of recommendation, and the first to go under the microscope is Antec's 900W High Current Gamer. Stay tuned, as we've many more PSU reviews in store!

Hoping for a distraction from all the hardcore tech? Then take a moment to browse through our top 5 Chillingo games for the Apple iPad.

 
 

The iPad's good for tossing birds, among other things, but if you really want to get some gaming thrills, check out Saints Row: The Third - it is, in our estimation, one of the best games of the year. Prefer something a little less crude? We've also got a review of EA's latest racing title, Need For Speed: The Run.

In other gaming news this week, Batman: Arkham City is in dire need of a patch, Skyrim has received a massive patch, while Modern Warfare 3 continues to top the charts.

Meanwhile, in tech, rumours indicate that the next iPhone will be getting a larger four-inch display, Antec has launched a new Performance One chassis (the P280), Chrome has leapfrogged Firefox, and AMD looks set to unveil its next-generation Radeon HD 7000 graphics cards on Monday.

The coming week promises to be interesting, and we'll have reviews of games, chassis, laptops and more, but before that, don't forget to check out our latest competition (we're giving you the chance to win a Silverstone chassis) and our new Question of the Week.
