I have a 4870, and it's a great card. But it's more or less gone from retail now and has been replaced by the 5770. For what you want, a 5850/5830 would be up your alley.

If you're not planning to overclock, than I'd recommend the AMD Phenom 955/965 over the Intel i5 for the sheer GHz, and the reasonable cost. But, if you intend to OC, and get monster numbers, then the i5 is for you. I use an AMD system with a 955 for gaming, and it's still way overkill for my needs.

As for your budget, it's huge. In fact, I think you can get a really awesome system for $1200, if not less, if you swing it. Heck, if you look around, you could add an SSD into the mix. My PC has two SSD's, and it's simply awesome.

What's overclocking and what would I benefit from that? As for the 4870, which brand would be best? Sapphire is the cheapest one, but is cheap good, or am I losing quality?

Artec 1200 full tower atx case...bets ever

Yeah, I'm actually for a case like that. A black case with Blue LED's is kick ass.


The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.
