• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Another upgrade question

The GTX460 1gb would be a nice option in that price point.

But otherwise, no, your CPU won't be a restriction...just keep it overclocked. The 5770 is old news now and definitely not worth that price. The 6850 is a wonderful card, but I just can't fathom paying $190 for one...just a few dollars more gets you lots more card. But the 6850 is a much better card overall then the 5770...and given those two, even with the price difference, I'd take the 6850. But here are some possible options for cheap.

Possible option - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162052&cm_re=gtx_465-_-14-162-052-_-Product
Another option - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1572715

Those were on the first page of the deals section. I'm sure there are deals on 6850's, I just don't have time to look right now. I'd try to get one around $160...at that price, its a great value. Otherwise, I'd suggest you move into the $200 price bracket where you can find 6870's for $199 with rebate...in addition to that 470 linked in the deals section. Getting anything faster then these would be pointless on your current rig.
