Howdy :)

I'm currently speccing up a new HTPC build, as my current setup is both power hungry, and incapable of anything but the lightest gaming (e8400, 2GB, HD5450).

I haven't been keeping up with graphics cards since I got the 5450 :/

First and foremost, I want at least the same amount of performance, with a lower power consumption. Thinking of going with a Celeron G530 and a HD7770, as I've read that the AMD card practically halves its power consumption whilst the display is off (ZeroCore). This sounds fantastic - being able to game on the HTPC, and then having the idle power draw drastically cut when the TV is off and the PC is simply being used as a fileserver.

Can anyone recommend a card that would be more suitable for my requirements?

Cheers :)
