i think they both look good!
i dont know how expensive power usually is, but that seems rather cheap to me!
i payed alot more than that for my nvidia card, which is a little bit better, but that card would run any game.

Your power supply is fine. The card is not that bad either but I'd recommend this: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102873The 5770 required a bit more power and there for iis the stronger power horse. Also with these new series 5xxx cards, you can run any game that uses DX11 which is a plus because this card will have lots of support. To use this card your power supply must have 2 12v output rails with atleast 30-35 AMPs, with the PSU you're looking at, that will be no problem as it has 2 12v rails with 24 on each giving you 48. |

think he was going for the Starcraft coupon Didn't think much about it at the time, but that does sound sweet. I'm a Nvidia fan btw nightmare. Thanks for the input though. |

That card is good for its price range, if you were to spend upto 200$, I would recommend the Nvidia GTX 260, its a beast. The only downfall atm with the Nvidia cards is that they don't have DX11 support, meaning you wont be able to run all the new games coming out smoothly or at all. MOH and BF BC2 both require DX 11 to be run smoothly, other than all the above. The Cards a nice choice  |

BF BC2 has options of running on dx 11 and dx10, for bfbc2 you'd stil be able to run the game on high settings if you have a good card but dx 11 brings in new features such as tesselations. From reviews I've read, it'll give better shadows in Bfbc2 and increase of frame rate of about 10-15 fps.
Bfbc2 isn't much dx11 demanding of a game. Wait for the new ones coming out (IE. MoH)

There have been talks about the i9, but its not currently in the market. Its supposed to match AMD's 6-Cores processors which to say the least ARE BEAST.
