New Video Card

[MetricGnome]

Hi [H],

Rig is in sig, I'd like a new ATI card to continue using ATI EyeFinity with my setup. I plan to game more heavily in the future with this setup and I'd like a solid recommendation for a new card, and anything else I might need!

Depends on your budget but I suggest nothing less then a 5870 1GB.

The only realistic step up for you at this point is the HD 5870 1GB. Go for an XFX branded one.

Realistic as in real-word performance gain?

You'll need 6GB more RAM for... ok, you won't need it, but if you've got money to spend, go for it, along with another X25-M for some RAID0 action. If you've still got money leftover, grab 3 more monitors to make use of that Eyefinity6 card. ... and if you've STILL got more money, more SSD's wouldn't hurt; RAID0 performance scales linearly with SSDs.
