I'm thinking about buying an XFX ATi Radeon HD 5770 card but my computer only has a 300 watt power supply would i need to upgrade that too?

And if i do need to upgrade, what size and model would you prefer.

There you go $572 and trust me there's so much room for future upgrades you won't regret this build. Worth going over your budget. All from newegg.com

I was wondering if someone can make a setup for under $550 and have left 4 dead 2 run on High Settings.

This includes a case,GPU,CPU,PSU,MotherBoard,DRIVE,HDD,memory and DVD drive

If you don't have Windows, go with Crossover Games. If you already own Windows, you might want to think before attempting BootCamp. I got VMware Fusion 3. Installs easily and runs games perfectly. Then I tried to instal COD4:MW. Would barely run, and I have about the same specs as you. I did some research, and VMware fusion won't run fps. But bootcamp has trouble running games that are not fps. So I tried to instal bootcamp, and my Mac crashed. Yeah. Wow. Had to re-instal Leopard and Snow leopard, and now my hard drive is wiped. So, I'd save your mac. Go with Crossover. It supports most new games and runs seamlessly.

You can also try Crossover Games for free. And you can get COD for Mac?

I find it ironic that people buy a Mac which costs 2-3X more than a Windows PC then still have to install Windows. Deihmos
