So I got I can finally get a new graphics card but I don't know which one to get. You can already tell that I'm looking for a video card that can run a wide variety of games: from Halo to Crysis at the highest settings at the highest resolution with the best visual quality, give me graphical improvements in Windows 7, is a great option for multimedia/entertainment and general use. I need a video card:

The cards I have in mind are:

- that will fit in my case without difficulty (and that includes the power connectors)
- from a manufacturer with reliable support, organized website, and other conditions that constitute a good company
- with an excellent warranty
- with good software/drivers and useful accessories/manuals that come with the graphics card
- that can overclock when I play games [but clock back down when in 2D mode] moderately (enough to match the performance of an HD5870 or somewhere near it)
- that can run Windows Aero without glitches (lol, my current one can't)
- that has great image quality for pictures and movies
- that won't be too loud or too hot in general (games, movies, pictures, multimedia, productivity/work)
- that's efficient (won't be too hungry for power (meaning my current one can support it as well as a Corsair CMPSU-650TX {which I want to get}, fan control, etc.)
- that has a good price for its performance.
- that has a good resale value which means people would still like it if it was used so that I could sell it to them at a rational and agreed price
