I'd typically suggest the 5770, but I just saw a Sapphire 5830 on Newegg going for $240 with free shipping. Still, I'm not sure if the performance gain is worth an extra $80-$100 :?

200$ for a gtx 260? i never heard of it. its like 240$ on newegg or somewhere around that. but umm what about an 4890!?!?

Edit: there is also this one

The GTX 260 is $200 (USD) on newegg right now. There are several models for that price. The 4890 isn't a bad idea, except that his PSU may or may not be able to handle it.

Have you ever tried to run a 4890 on a PSU with 36 amps on the 12-volt rails? My best friend has, and he's having some serious issues. I'm not so sure. I also wouldn't run a GTX 260 on that PSU. The 5770 seems to me like the only choice which will give you a performance boost, and run safely on that PSU.

same thing i said to the other guy "imo 260, your not going to be pulling off any DX 11 games with a low end entry level dx 11 card (i dont know why people buy these) would you be able to max todays DX10 games like crysis with an entry level dx 10 card?"

260's are KICK*** in SLi, they equal to about a gtx 295 :D im thinkin about buying a second later on

in my hose now we have an i7 920 with a gtx 275, and an i7 930 with a hd 4850 512mb. Crysis VERY closely on each system (over 30fps with all settig on high at 1680x 1050). so i dont think this is a worth while upgrade. check out benchmarks for the games YOU play and see which ones come out on top. if it was me personally i would hold off for a few more months, or get teh 5770
