or this one: Newegg.com - ASUS EAH5850 DirectCU TOP/2DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card w/ ATI Eyefinity

i want to hook up both my monitor and my HDTV to it so im hoping one of those can do such. thanks.

The new 6870 is a better gaming video card than the 5850. If you can't afford it, get a 6850. They are tied for the best in their price ranges with the Nvidia 4xx competitors.

you mean this card?
Newegg.com - ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU/2DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

or this?
Newegg.com - ASUS EAH6870/2DI2S/1GD5 Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

and if so would that be any better with hd video (Blu-ray ripping/burning/watching/etc) as well? bear with me, im fairly new at this.

Either one would be fine, the 6870 is a stronger gamer. They both have all the bells and whistles to handle any kind of video.

[Beans8190]

alright then, 6870 it is then, its cheaper than the one i had originally, go figure, and theres no restrictions as to what graphics card i use on the motherboard is there? but other than that, the computer should do what i want it to right?

you can put any single graphics card onto any mobo with the correct matching slot (PCIe x16)

ohhhh ok thank you, now all i need to know is if its going to handle what i want it to without bursting into a giant hellfire while i sit there crying lol, basically video editing/burning all in hd and some decent quality gaming
