So my current video card is a Radeon 4650. I'm looking to spend about $150 on a new one. Just don't know what to buy. Anyone got any suggestions?

Also my current power supply is a 530w one. A friend said I should be good with a HD7770 but be careful. So i'm guessing I need to up my power supply as well. Anyone think i'll be okay? The only game I play is d3

ur psu is fine for a 7770. 7770 can operate on 400w psu's.

why not newegg? :O
i think newegg has bill me later also

if u don't care about warranty, i'd personally go for the 6850 sapphire smile
of course it's like 30 day return, then 1 year warranty i believe


it'll run diablo 3 like cheese on a plate

i use the 6850 and i can run bf3 on all ultra settings :>

your budget is $150 right?
6950 is expensive also i think the price you pay for the 2gb 6950 compared to 1gb 6850 is a rip-off anyway

best option for $150 budget is the 6850

i wouldn't recommend getting the 6870 since you're paying like $20 more for such a tiny increase in performance

what cpu?

you don't want to bottle neck your video card. (nowadays it's pretty hard not to) but all depends on your cpu.

i assume it's a PCIe slot?

what mobo?
