I currently have an 'OK' spec PC but is not currently used for gaming at all. It is a year old now, see below:
C2D E8400 @ 3.3ghz
MSI P35 Neo-F
4GB Corsair DDR2 800mhz.
OCZ Stealth 600Watt PSU
500Gb Seagate SATA
24" HP Monitor @ 1080p
Vista 64bit Ultimate
I'm looking to simply make this spec able to play modern games @ 1920x1080 (COD:MW2/New MOH/BF:BC2 etc)
I'm planning on purchasing the following:
PowerColor ATI 5870 1GB
Coolermaster CM690 Dominator - Black
Another 24" monitor for dual desktop (I will not be running games across both monitors)
Windows 7 64bit
Seagate 500GB SATA
Blu-Ray Drive - SATA
I know the CPU/memory will be a slight bottle neck for this card. I just want to know if this will still handle modern games at 1920x1080.
Is the 5870 worth the extra £70 over the 5850 with this spec CPU / memory?
Many thanks for the help guys!
