Hey guys right now i am currently running a Radeon 5770 and i think its time to upgrade but i dont know which card to buy. My budget is about 350$, my first thought was to buy a GTX 570 and later when i get more money to SLI with another gtx 570 or what about these other cards? Please give your opinion

GTX 480
Radeon 6970
Radeon 5870

Another upgrade

So right now i have the OCZ Gold 6 gb triple channel ram and i want to upgrade to 12GB ram Here are some ram i was thinking to get and tell me what you think and which is the best


Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7T-12GBRH

Newegg.com - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP12GX3M3A1600C9

Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8T-12GBRM


And one last thing im looking for a full tower case because my case is crap. Please no cooler master case. THanks :)
 
hmmm the dominators arent good? the last one is a bit pricy xD. And i dont really like my current graphics card.
 
If your only gaming you don't need 12 gb of ram.

I agree with slaymate and would probably only get another 5770 at this time unless you use multiple monitors or have a 1920x1080 or above resolution.

If you do plan on getting a GTX480 you will not be able to SLI it with your current psu as this link shows peak power consumption is 851w: AnandTech - NVIDIA. For a GTX570 in SLI I would recommend atleast 800w.
 
hmm ive decided to sell my 5770 and get a gtx 570. But there like 20 different kinds lol. Out of these list what would be the best there all around the same price. i gotta money to waste lol
 
woah, hmm i have an intel i7 920 2.8 running on a asus p6t motherboard. Is there a limit on memory speed on the i7?
