Hi these are the prices at the place I am getting my computer built..
Radeon HD 5830 $240
Radeon HD 5850 $345
Radeon HD 5870 $420
These are all the XFX cards as they provide the best warranty.
Which of these cards will provide the best bang for the buck... (All of them are most likely fine for the types of games I play (Blizzard Games : Specifically SC2) but I do want to game at 1920x1080
The rest of my system is as follows:
1 x PC Assembly and Testing with 1 Year Limited NCIX System Warranty (PRE-CONFIG WIN. OS If Purchased) $50

The 5850 is the sweet spot in the market right now in price vs performance. The 5870 is still a little over price at the moment.
well, if you have a great crossfire motherboard and you're REALLY GONNA DO IT SOMEDAY buy the 5870
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
You're in the clear, go for the best price.
