I can say that while playing BFBC2 I could definitely see a bottleneck at 1920x1080. The core i5 produces much smoother frames. Dutch I have a 2400 without unlocked multipliers and I'm not missing anything. A 3.9GHz 1 core to 3.6GHz quad core is enough to handle all games if need be. The stock...

I agree that a complete overhaul will need to be done. I upgraded to a core i5 system for about $415. Might be a little more expensive for you if you plan on upgrading the graphics card. Should be around $600. I can post parts here if you're interested. Probably the only thing you van reuse is...

I don't know how much your CPU is oc'd but I had an e8200 that was oc'd. I didn't realize it at the time but a 5770 bottlenecks the e8200. Your CPU may just be barely able to hold the 260. Even at 3.2 GHz for me, when I upgraded to a core i5 system I noticed a HUGE improvement in gaming. My core...

Haha yes my system is loaded :) it was my pc for college and I didn't want to haul all the family guy and futurama DVDs I had so i ripped them on there and it's pretty much my media center and gaming pc. As I thought I looked at stuff online... It seems like I would but cutting it very close. I...

I was looking at the 560, but it only provides a marginal improvement over the 5770. I want something that's more or less double :D (edit: nvm... looks like the 560 Ti is prety much double that of the 5770 lol but if I could I would still like the 580 or 570 as an option...) I mentioned above I...

Hey all I have a question for you. I recently upgraded to a Core i5 system. Paired with a Radeon HD 5770, and thinking my energy requirements are quite modest I decided to get a 520W PSU and ditch my 430W. I'm highly interested in upgrading my 5770 because UVD annoys the hell out of me...
