so you want to go back with 5770s? have you thought about ref 5850s? those should OC way over a 5870 and give you very good preformance

yes i thought about it, but the 5770 is only because it was a good deal,

besides, 2x5850 is way to much for my needs

but 2 x 5770 is more suitable, and still delivers quite some power

im only playing mw1+2, l4d1+2 etc

nothing really demanding

i know its a weird choice, but i like to have what others dont :laugh

but i found this one for cheap

will put a window on top of it, and in time it will get a dual or triple rad on each side of it.

it has some sorta display thingie in the front, might replace it with something that can show temps and other stuff
