Not sure of budget yet, depends how tempted I am by offerings. Current rig is as follows;

Samsung SM172x
ASUS P5KC, Corsair HX520, E2160 @ 3GHz
4GHz DDR2-800 OCZ XTC Platinum Rev.2
8800GT Alpha Dog 512MB
Sata-II 7200RPM 250Gig
Logitech MX518, Saitek Eclipse, Creative Fatal1ty HS800

Was thinking CPU and Graphics mainly.

Budget?

Your build is like mine I'm getting a 5770 next month.

excellent card, i upgraded from the 8800gt to the 5770 and was very glad i did

seems to be the best bang for buck upgrade at the moment

I hear conflicting reports though with regards to drivers etc. Anyone got an overview ATI compared to Nvidia? I know a 5770 and GTX260 are roughly the same price....

GTX260 doesnt have DX11 support
