tbh nowadays its hard to get exactly what u want in the GC world. at the moment its between the 260/4870/5770, id give a slight advantage to the 5770 simply because its dx11 compatable (next generation graphics) but the best performing card for dx9/10 is the 260 in my POV.

If your not planning on upgrading again for a while I'd swap to the 5770.
Will definately satisfy you, because it'll take a while for Nvidia to bring out a lower end Dx11 card!

Yeah i only just upgraded the rest of my machine 6months ago.
And the cfx card was the only thing i did not upgrade.

Hopefully ill see a big difference!
