I'll be changing my 4870 soon to a 5870 due to, I suppose, VDDC degradation (read this for more info). Looking for a custom cooling solution with 2 gigs of memory.
So far I've got my eyes on the sapphire 5870 toxic.
Now the rest of the system:
CPU - Q9400@stock(2.66), Scythe Shuriken FAN
MB - AsRock p45turbotwins2000
RAM - A-Data ViTesta 1066+ 2x2GB
PSU - FSP Everest 800w
Sound - Auzentech X-fi Prelude
I guess I'll have to change the PSU as well since I've read some non-so-good things about it lately while investigating my system's instability (random restarts). Also not sure if the CPU will be enough for this video. My budget is around 850$. Any suggestions are welcome - not sure about the motherboard as well (seems unstable with ddr2 1066).
