i have been told that the best graphics cards in my budget are
HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

and

Asus GeForce GTX 460 Direct CU TOP 768MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

any more opinions, i do have a 400W power supply, i am expecting to have to upgrade to a Antec 520W before i do this.
can i possibly do crossfire with my current GPU if i get a motherboard that sopports it?
thanks
 
sorry forgot to mention that my system was in the signature

all except your current GPU :p
although you can pick up another 1950 for next to nothing i think its time you got some newer tech, give it a week or 2 till the new AMD cards have been released and see what that does to prices,(probly wont change much if atall but waiting a week wont hurt) id take the 460 over the 5770 though :)

you'd want a new psu yeh. a 400W psu, even if could handle crossfire lower end cards, it'll likely have loud noise on load.
