It looks good, for the most part.

Which monitor/resolution are you using? Which games/programs?

Which monitor/resolution are you using? Which games/programs?

1680x1050, games: mass effect, crysis, fallout 3, dead space and nba 2k9

programs: windows xp and maybe dual boot vista, photoshop cs3, winrar, adobe premier, MS office, netbeans and firefox

If you can afford to, I recommend replacing the HD4850 with either the HD4870 (1GB model) or the GTX 260 (with 216 shader processors). The newer games (especially Crysis) will tax the HD4850 at high visual settings.

tax it at my res? i heard going to a 260/4870 doesnt make a difference

It does for higher detail settings, especially in the newer games.
