GTS 450@6.5k would be fine
else HD5770@7.5k
HD6850@10.8k
HD6870@13.5k
take your pick
else HD5770@7.5k
HD6850@10.8k
HD6870@13.5k
take your pick
No difference between 512MB and 1GB versions. Except the price.
Yes HD5770 is a big difference.
What is you screen size??
How much do you game and are medium setting OK??

if you got 22"+ monitor better go for 1GB VRAM or else it doesn't matter for low screen size.
HD5770 will be a better choice. BTW which PSU you got?

A 6850 would be perfect for you and fully balanced for your rig. If short on budget, then wait for nvidia gts 550, radeon 6770 & 6750. Then make pick your card according to your budget from these.

do i need a CPU cooler??

also can some1 tell me whats special about Vapor-X series ??

this is not a buying section.

i thought this was the space to talk about graphic cards.
where did i go wrong ??

News, problems and overclocking in that section. You want to buy a Graphic card, post in the PC Components / configurations. Read the descriptions in the index page.
YOu don't need a CPU cooler if you won't overclock..but it is always good to have...
Vapor-X series is basically a overclocked card with better cooling...MSI has HAWK(for Nvidia) and Twin Frozr(ATI cards)...they cost a bit extra and performs better than stock...
Btw you can check my sig...the PSU will handle it easily...
if playing full hd content is what you want then 5770 is a big overkill. a 5570 fine. if gaming casually a 5670. but which games will you play?
^^Actually its not overkill. Check this out. Its pretty interesting.

i am goind for
MSI P55-GD65
instead of
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R
and
Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 2*2GB
instead of
G Skill 4GB 1600CL8 Trident
..any corrections needed ??
Are you buying a new PC with i5 760 or you already have it?
B
buying a new1..
^^ wait for sandybridge motherboard revisions and then make a purchase.
Or you can go ahead with this and be assured that it will make one awesome combination...
MSI P55-GD65 is real good..
your RAM is good too but it has CAS latency of 9..the lower the latency the better performance..mine is CL 8..

firstly..thanks for bringing that up, i had no idea there was a design problem!
now that i have read up online about this, im not sure if i get it.
can some one please explain where exactly the problem lies..
..and a definite answer on whether i should buy an Intel i5 760 processor with MSI P55-GD65 mobo or not ??
it doesn't make sense to buy a previous gen Nehalem(1st gen Core series)
now that Sandybridge is here with much better performance at a lower price point
But there is some problems in the present Chipset not the Chip itself
so Intel and other Motherboard manufacturers are recalling the sold Motherboards for replacement with a newer revision one
Since the whole process is expected to take some time(2-3 months)
you can well wait
p.s.
expect heavy price drops from Intel and the Mobo Manufacturers in Damage control 2 -3 months later
---------------------
Bottomline
Wait
