Video Card Upgrade
I only wanted to spend $100, but I bumped it after I saw some models on the cusp, so I'm looking at around $150.
I got it narrowed down to either: Radeon 5750 1GB, or the 4870 1GB I'm trying to weight the DX11 support in the 5750 vs a slight performance edge for the 4870 thoughts? I guess at this point I could bump it to $160 for the 5770 and make the decision easy, but you know how that goes. I'll keep bumping until I'm at $500

What type of power supply do you have now? You need to make sure it has enough power to run the graphics card you choose.

I got a 500 watt FSP Blue Storm. It has a 6 pin PCI-E power connector.
No SLI planned, so it'll do. |

No good on the 4870, it needs two PCI-E connectors. The 5750 and 5770 are okay.

Thanks that saved me an RMA.
5770 is calling me. Hmmm. |
