What to stick in this?

[Walkerie]

Hi all, im thinking of upgrading i currently run

P5N-ESLI
8800 GTX XFX OC EDITION
4GB DDR 2 PC3200
E8400 @ 3.6 ( not sure how far i can take it ) although i do have an aftermark ice cooler on it.

Wanting to upgrade for global i get pretty bad frames in it.

I would go for the HD5850 and overclock the hell out of it

yeah thats a point what power supply you got in that?

and would a HD5870 actually fit in OPs case?

No idea, but i agree a 5850 and overclocking it would be better.

Telling me. When i cancelled my 5850 pre-order because the date OcUK was getting them kept getting delayed, i changed it for a 5870 for Saturday delivery, man, what a tight ass fit.

well there does seem a steady supply now...

I know, i have another graphics card to sell as well, 4870.

I m buying around the release of fermi, or before if prices come down enough, to around RRP prices

 

[Walkerie]

Thats over my budget, i thought i included one, i have around 130
