    Perhaps you should give us some more information. What games do you play? What resolution do you use? Do you have a standard tower ATX case? What motherboard are you using? What powersupply are you using right now?

    I would actually try and get a Nvidia based GTX560 Ti over the ATI 6870 if you can find one under $200. Little more power than the 6870 and less power. That power supply that Tetrisgoat recommended however is spot on, it's a really kick a$$ power supply.

    I put that same Sapphire 6870 in my wifes build in May its a very beastly budget card. Shes doing 25 mans on Ultra at 60 fps 1920x1080 (WoW). Plays D3 on max settings and Skyrim on High+ settings getting 50+ fps. Like I always say Id go for a Corsair 650tx at least http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139020 but I love corsair psus and havent really tried to many other like Seasonic. Plus a 650 gives you a lot more overhead to grow if need be. Or used later on if you do a full new build.

    newegg has them posted for 220+. 200 bucks isn't to bad. I wouldnt be to surprised to see a price drop on alot of ATI cards when the 660 hits shelfs.

    Yea I saw those numbers the other day also but I still think the 78xx series will probably get another drop after the 660s are officialy released.
