Wow if I got a surprise like that from my Girl , I would be stoked.

I´d go for the 5770. It would compliment that machine. It´s powerfull enough, draws very little power when it´s idle , and it´s going to be future proof for a while. If you can´t find that one, have a look at the 5750.

Get a 4850/ 4770/ 5750 with native HDMI port.
To be honest, it is waste of money to get such a powerful machine for paperwork...

those are good cards. I just can't bring myself to recommend a 57xx card, "i am disapoint" in 57xx benchmarking. They are DX11 for what its worth.

# Radeon HD4870 1GB
# Geforce GTX 260-216 896MB
# Radeon HD5770 1GB
# Radeon HD4870 512MB
# Geforce GTX 260 896MB
# Radeon HD3870X2 1GB
# Radeon HD5750 1GB
# Geforce GTS 250 1GB
# Radeon HD4850 1GB
Radeon HD4770 512MB
This is a portion of a graphics card performance comparison.
The 5770 outdoes the 4870 512mb at much lower power consumption , less heat. Even the 5750 is sitting in a sweet spot there.

yah the 4870 1gb seems to be the best price point per performance on the market

one more question, as i already have all the other parts, do i need anything else? and can the computer run without the graphic card....what i mean is can i go ahead and put together what i have and run it or to be able to see anything on the screen i must have the card first?

dushuai · 11-07-2009, 05:33 AM

Of course , a extreme cpu fan can be very important,it is all for I7.yeah...

Mr soft · 11-07-2009, 11:31 AM

Have a look at the XFX version. 6 dollars more with a lifetime warranty and free shipping.

The 4870 is a beautiful card , but bigger dye , runs hotter , uses a lot more power. I don't think your going to see any real world difference.

do i need anything else

Thermal paste , something like Arctic silver 5 or MX2.
Maybe some fans. I'm not sure if that case comes with front intake fans. have a look at some Scythe Gentle typhoons. I have three . They are wisper quiet and push a lot of air.

and can the computer run without the graphic card.

Depends what Mother board you have. Some have integrated graphics which come in handy if you have to return your faulty graphics card.
