I can get a 6870 for about $50 more than the 5850, but if it's not going to do me any good i may as well go with the 5850. Not knowing a lot about them tho i can't make a very informed decision myself, and i need to order the remainder of parts for a new build today. So i could sure use some help deciding. (want to stay with ATI too by the way) I do game a good bit, but mostly casual/SP. build will be as follows....
i5 2.88Ghz quad core
gigabyte P55 mobo
4 GB DDR3
120GB patriot SSD
22" 1650x1080
