Hi,

I am new to this forum so here goes!

Which would be the best upgrade for me going from an Asus HD5850 pcs+ graphics card (which is slightly overclocked), I game at 1920 x 1080 on windows 7 professional.

Also would I benefit in changing from a 32bit system to a 64bit, would this help with framerates??

any help would be really appreciated. thanks.
 
I have a budget of approx £300, psu is a corsair TX850M, motherboard is an asus P6X58DE motherboard and an i7 950 processor.

Thanks for all your help, i'm currently running a 32bit windows 7 with 4gig ram. will probably wait for the 7870 then, roughly march time isnt it??

plus, would it pay to upgrade to a 64bit system with say 8 gig ram - for a 7870, or would my current setup get a similar performance??
 
Just bought a 12gig kit of crucial memory (3x4gig) and will upgrade to 64bit windows ready for a new graphics card in a couple of months. thanks for all your help guys!
