+1 4770
Id go with that,Its not much more than the 4770 that daisy posted and is more powerfull.
I wouldnt go with the 5670...low end.

is that one better even though its only 512mb compared to my already 1gb?

The 5670 comes in 512mb and 1GB flavours.
More Memory doesnt mean its a better card,....they tend to put stupid amounts of memory on low end cards these days to make people think theyre better than they realy are.
Eg....like this 2gb 9500GT here

Pointless imo.

Nope. Not pointless at all. Many people, new to computers think that the card with 2GB is always faster than a card with 512MB onboard memory. I know many people that would get this 9500GT instead of for instance 9800GT.

As a matter of fact, a slower gpu with more memory yields less performance.
Look up some benchmarks between the 4670 512mb and 4670 1gb, you'll see the 1gb version suffers from loss of performance where all of the video memory isn't being used.
However a GPU like the 9800gt would benefit from more (1gb) memory, to a point. (same goes for the 5670, which is about equal in performance)
