I am not looking to spend more than $300 that is really pushing it for me, so is the 7950 enough of an upgrade over my 5870?

Also is it likely to work/fit if my pc can run my 5870, my specs are listed at the start

Hello, I am not that knowledgable in computer hardware so I was wandering which of the two GTX 660 or 7870 to get, I currently have a 5870.

I am choosing between:

On a side note, I think it will work on my system but if anyone knows I have the following:

• Intel Core i7 860 (2.80Ghz/8MB/LGA1156/Quad Core)
• Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 MB, intel P55, DDR3 2000, PCI-Ex 16, SATA3, USB 3.0, RAID, GbE LAN, 8CH Audio, 2oc PCB, SLI and Crossfire, Heatpipe, ATX.
• Sapphire Radion HD5870 (850mhz), 1GB GDDR5, (2400mhz), PCI-E-2.0, DVI, HDMI, Display Port
• Corsair 4GB Kit (2x8GB), PC12800, (1600MHz) DDR3, XMS3, 9-9-9-24, Dual Channel Kit
• Asus DRW-24BIST 24xDVD-RW, 12xDVD+RW, 40xCDRW, SATA, NER08, SM
• Western Digital 1TB, SATA-II, 7200RPM, 32MB cache
• CoolerMaster CM 690, ATX, no PSU.2x USB2.0, tool free drive bays
• Antec EathWatts 650W ATX Power Supply, 80 PLUS certified, 120mm low noise cooling fan, Dual 12V outputs, 2xPCI express, 4 x SATA, 6 x IDE

Hello, I am looking to wipe my pc as it seems to of filled with god knows what. Is there a way to do this where I can determine which files I would like to keep? for example I would not want drivers being uninstalled, I would not like folders like Steam being unistalled, etc.

Furthermore is doing this by using my windows 7 installation disk the best way to do this, if you can designate things to keep that is.

thanks :)

how much better will a GTX 660/ 7870 be over my 5870? at the moment I am getting like 20 fps on modern games at top settings (planetside 2, shogun 2, gw2..2...2..2 :p) if i get one of these graphics cards and get another 4gb of ram will i be getting back up to 60+?

Hello, i have had my PC for 2 years now and the parts are as follows:

• Intel Core i7 860 (2.80Ghz/8MB/LGA1156/Quad Core)
• Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 MB, intel P55, DDR3 2000, PCI-Ex 16, SATA3, USB 3.0, RAID, GbE LAN, 8CH Audio, 2oc PCB, SLI and Crossfire, Heatpipe, ATX.
• Sapphire Radion HD5870 (850mhz), 1GB GDDR5, (2400mhz), PCI-E-2.0, DVI, HDMI, Display Port
• Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB), PC12800, (1600MHz) DDR3, XMS3, 9-9-9-24, Dual Channel Kit
• Asus DRW-24BIST 24xDVD-RW, 12xDVD+RW, 40xCDRW, SATA, NER08, SM
• Western Digital 1TB, SATA-II, 7200RPM, 32MB cache
• CoolerMaster CM 690, ATX, no PSU.2x USB2.0, tool free drive bays
• Antec EathWatts 650W ATX Power Supply, 80 PLUS certified, 120mm low noise cooling fan, Dual 12V outputs, 2xPCI express, 4 x SATA, 6 x IDE

So what is looking in most need of an upgrade, at the moment I am thinking of buying another 2x2gb or 4gb RAM, but as i don't know alot about computer hardware I would like ot know if anything else is getting dated as I can no longer run recent games as well as I would like

thanks :)
