Can't go with something higher then a 5770? For the rig you using, the 5770 will work but that will become your bottneck pretty fast.

5850/70 is a decent one, or maybe a geforce 470. On a side note, i don't think the graphic card will be the bottlenecking element here as fast as the RAM shortage. Get 4 GB of that

A GTX 460/6850 would be much better and not that much mor expensive, try for the 1GB version of the gtx 460 if you can.

Again, keep in mind that, when going above 3GB RAM, you'll need to install a 64-bits operating system to make use of the extra RAM. ;)

If this is a pure gaming rig than I suggest you frontload your money on good videocard setup. Something like 6850 crossfire or 570/6970.

Watch out, the WD Caviar Greens are energy efficient so not as fast as other drives. Look at samsung spinpoints and WD Caviar Blacks.

yah the posted build is a good one. But also make sure that your mobo supports CrossfireX. This is where the AMD's 6950 real power comes from.
