Radeon HD5770 over Radeon HD5550

That's hardly a concern at the GTX 460 level. It's a potential complaint at the GTX 480 level. The GTX 460 is a better card dollar for dollar than the Radeon 5770.

It isn't? From what I have seen the 460 uses anywhere from 50-75W more under load compared to the 5770. Of course it is faster too but does cost about a third more in dollars.

His CPU is more than fine, get a clue peepz. Athlon x4 is more than enough for WoW.

The GTX 460 is far superior to 5770, stop being a fanboy. And no, 5770 and 460 costs about the same, depends on which models you pick.

Fanboy? I just looked at the prices on Newegg and it was $160 vs $120 for the lowest price ones assuming you want 1GB to run at 1080p. I would expect to run faster if it costs 33% more but it also eats a lot more energy.

my 5770 runs WoW at max settings on 1650x1050 resolution with no problems at all.

Price difference of 40-60 dollars for the GTX 460 over the 5770, not really worth it when you can get a 5850 for the same price as most of the good GTX 460's which is a better card.

You are very wrong. GTX 460 is the strongest card when it comes down to price/performance. It's been proven over and over. The 5770 is even slower than the GTX 260 (216) which is a much older card, of course 460 beats the crap out of 5770, it's about 25% faster.
