      Your system will only be as good as its weakest part, having an amazing graphics card and shit ram.. will not make your comp go any better till you upgrade the ram, ect ect.. Link the rest of your specs =]

      Im using Sapphire's 5850, and I love it. 8 gigs of ram, AMD's new hex-core processor. seems to run fine with 650 watt psu.

      To be honest Mario27, i think that card is a bit over the top for your system. Personally i'd be upgrading that shitty CPU before the video card.

      Your video card will be like a ferrari but the rest of your PC like a ford ka.

      Oh ok. I thought your cpu was a single core processor, didn't realise it was quad.
