Hey guys i got a 4850 512mb with stock fan in a antec 900 case. My temps on the card are 63 C at idle with 80% fan speed and at load it gets to 90+ is this ok or i should i replace my video card. Thinking of getting a 5770 1gb or 4890 1gb.

Sounds a bit warm, but I've heard these cards tend to run hot. I would recommend blowing the card out with air. If I were to buy a card I would go with the 5770 for its DX11 and price.
It's a little on the warm side, if you haven't blown it out with compressed air lately or ever that will probably lower the temp a few degrees if your place is dusty... It can also safely go into the low 100s, if you replace it do for performance reasons not temperature, you could also replace the stock fan/heatsink pretty cheap.

turn up the speed of the case fans on your antec 900 using the fan speed control knobs on the outside of the case ;)

To give you a comparison I also have a 4850 512MB with stock fan, in a Coolermaster Stacker STC-01case.
Using CPUID Hardware Monitor my idle GPU temps are 45-46C, rising to60-63C under load
This compares to my CPU temps (Quad core Q6600 @2.4GHz) of 27-30C idle, and about 40C under load.
