Worth upgrading?

[Ant123]

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my Palit HD4850 512mb to a HD5850 and was wondering if it is worth the upgrade? If so, which one is best to get? Was thinking of Asus or Powercolor.
Thanks

Because you only have an Athlon X2 I wouldn't bother, you'd be better off going CPU than GPU in your sig rig

sure dfference between this 2 cards is great, but as staited above, don't bother..
if you ok with hd4850, no point!

Thanks for the advice. Better start saving for Gulftown

I wound't even bother saving for that as there will be no point atall for gaming needs.

Hmm. Maybe I should go for the i7 then. After all I can always upgrade to the i9 in the future if needs be.

Either that lol, If you are just gaming mate, the core i5 750 is the way to go.

if your gaming a quad q6600 or 6700 and overclock it , more than enough
