^^ Change that psu before your gpu upgrade. Fsp saga II 350 @ 1.5k will do the job.

Next add a sapphire radeon 5670 @ 4.8k

^^ Your existing psu is bad and not recomended for any dedicated card with an additional power connectors. Go for an FSP sagaII 350 as i mentioned or fsp saga II 400 will be even a better option if you want cards like nvidia gts 450 and radeon 5770. They are priced a bit higher though. A standard gts 450 or radeon 5750 will be priced between 6k-7k.

But change your psu first before even thinking about a graphics upgrade. That isn't suited for the purpose at all and is bad for the system in the long run.

FSP Saga II 400W @ 1.7k
5670 @ 4.8k

^^ Nothing good below 5k. Gts 450 @ 6.8k is very good.

in that price range HD5670 512mb is the best card in terms of price/performance also whats the resolution of your monitor?

Sappphire or MSI hd 5670 @ 5k

^^ More VRAM will be helpful in higher resolutions, although that's a not a high-end card, it is OK to get 1GB variant, if the price diff is negligible.

its not worth dude. the 5670 is not a big memory-cruncher.it does not need full 1gb memory to perform calculations and so there is no difference between the 512mb and 1gb version even at high resolutions.
search in google.

that's why palit released a 3gb version of gtx 580. because the 1.5gb version was bottlenecking the 580's power (read: memory was not enough for calculations) and was crashing at multi-monitor setups.

5670 wouldn't be useful in higher resolution.

if you know that 1GB isn't useful then there is no logic to get it for a higher price, be it negligible. In the end it won't provide value-for-money will it?

just trying to clear something up. :mrgreen:

Well in my case, the 4670 512MB was 4200 whereas 1GB one was 4450. So i opt for 1GB once, now you can't say it as VFM? This is what i implied to post here from the start. :D

I said that price diff b/w 512 & 1GB variant is just 250 bucks in my case, so i advised user to get 1GB, if price diff is negligible. Gotcha!!!

yes i get.

with negligible price difference he can get some good stuff from KFC instead of buying the 1GB variant. :mrgreen:

ok let's stop this interesting debate. :)
