I was going to suggest a GTX 460, but 24A is recommended so...
If you're playing at lower resolutions, the 5770 will be fine. A friend of mine plays Mafia 2 with all the eye candy turned on at 1366 x 768 on an ageing 320mb 8800GTS. If you want something for playing games at full HD resolutions, I'd suggest saving some more money and buying a beefier PSU and a better card though. The 5770, while having enough VRAM, just lacks the power to do your games justice at 1680 x 1050 and beyond unless you're willing to sacrifice some graphical niceness for a smooth experience.
