    Upgrade or keep 5850

    Id say go for either a I5 3570k or a AMD FX-8350, which ever floats your boat. Sell the 5850 and grab a 7950 and you'll have a solid gaming rig at that resolution

    how much CPU (AM3) is needed to push CrossFire 5770's?

    with low settings, you might be able to push older titles, I'd say sell your 5770's and grab a 6950 2gb if you want a good eyefinity experience and possibility of unlocking to 6970

    Which card is the best bang for your buck?

    from 4870 to a 5850 you would see a great performance increase, but if your board allows you to do CF I would suggest finding a cheap used 4870 to hold you off untill 6XXX cards come out and all the price on the 5XXX will go down.

    Most efficient upgrade for my rig?

    if you play at 1080P definitely wait it out. the 6 series has faster tessellations (dx 11) rendering, more power efficient and also runs cooler as well likely other optimizations like memory, gpu, SP's communication

    Most efficient upgrade for my rig?

    do you feel your games are lacking frames? from the look at your current rig its still a formidable system for 1080P resolution with extra details in games on am guessing. IMO the longer you wait the more performance increase you will get with next gen hardware upgrade if you even need the...

    Waiting on a backordered 1gb GTX 460 - Cancel and go for a 5850?

    I'd say go for the 5850 so its much easier on your wallet to upgrade later on if you feel you need the performance boost from CF.
