I´ve got the 5750 vapor-x , I´m very happy with it.
The fan on auto doesn´t go past 40% and is inaudible. Very low idle temps and has descent heatsinks all over the ram and vr. perfect for OC´n
Just remember the 4850 is a lovely card, but will chew a lot more power and will will run hotter.
The 57xx models are also great overclockers , mine runs at 870 core 1430 mem. people are getting 1ghz on the 5770´s core.
These cards idle at about 18 w :eek:
With that res you could play on a 4670.
I´d go for a 4770 (except the Sapphire blue it´s gimped), 5750 , 5770. What ever is in your budget.
I´m running a 5750 on a 19inch 1440 x 900 and getting 70 to 80 fps in res evil 5 . I was running a 4670 on this res but it started to struggle on newer games.
The thermal paste that´s supplied is normally like toothpaste, that white ceramic crap. I just have a disliking for stock coolers and pastes.
For the sake of five bucks,I reckon it´s worth it.
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...
Wow if I got a surprise like that from my Girl , I would be stoked. :D
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. :)
I have a set of Sennheiser HD 457. they are beautiful. If I had the choice again I would´ve picked closed. The open earphones let a lot of external noise in. The 220 was my favourite but I also ran over the cables with the chair (a couple of thousand times ) and mashed them.
I think that is for setting up new discs.
Maxblast 5 is for cloning.

When you have finished the cloning , power down unplug old drive. Windows should allocate C...
Geez that is one powerfull machine for watching movies.
how big is the monitor if we´re talking 19" to 22" You could just get a 4770.
This would even be ok for light to med. gaming.
Small fans normally howl a lot more than their 120mm bigger brothers , besides shipping on that cooler is 14 GBP.
Here's a cheaper one OCZ Vendetta 2 120 mm fan ,,,,, 24.60 GBP inc postage...
Have a look at the Gladiator max 120mm , there's a couple going for 25 GBP
I just brought one for my 720.
Only thing is it has the pins for Intel boards.

Saphire 4770. Only because I have a 4670 , It´s a great litle card,but struggles with recent games...
Wow some nice heavyweights there.
That ZEROtherm scored really well in comparison tests. Kicked my Katana II's butt. :o I've been eyeing up the OCZ gladiator max for my next cooler.
