What do you use computer for? what areas you looking to improve performance in?

All looks good to me, if you game maybe another 5850?

Its for games only i use macs for all else.

i dont really want another 5850 im not a fan of crossfire id rather buy a better single card.

not really sure, its just if i can justify the cost, theres no real maximum amount. I just need an idea of what kind of cost im looking at

It's up to you really, 2-300 will get you a worthwhile upgrade, 6950/6970 for ATi or 560/570 for NV, pretty much on a par with each other. Should be reasonable boost over 5850
Also got 6990 and 580/590 but price/performance isn't so good
