prices in canadian

yes im aware that 5770 is a tad overpriced but for those here locally that ensures they always have one in stock ( i have yet to see them ever not have an item they advertise out of stock)

also i realise the 5750 is a little worse but if its worth the effort just for something dx 11 friendly ill take the preformance hit and save a little extra cash while im there.

Well about uprading from xp pro to windows 7 I would hihgly recommend it. Although windows 7 is technically still behind xp in some ways in regards to its gaming performane (benchmarks and stuff) it is much better than vista ever was and since xp wont be updated to include directx 10 or 11 you would be limiting yourself in the long run by staying with xp. So sawp to windows 7
