I'm looking to upgrade 2 systems. Looking for best value for my money something near the Radeon HD 7850 range. Both systems just used for MMO gaming at high settings. System 1 also though games like Civ5 and Gal Civ 3 when comes out one day.

System 1 I'm looking at getting an AMD FX 6300. Whats the better value GPU of this trying to stay $130-150 range unless something a sliver more has a lot more power.

System 2 AMD Phenom II 1055T (no OC)
Whats the best GPU I can manage here w/o really bottlenecking? Of course still trying to be on the cheap side of things. Again looking to stay around $130ish or less if possible

I'm unsure if any of the new 260x's doing about as well as the 7850 or a better deal. Suggestions on specific cards not to noisy also? Price is my key issue and as long as I can be playing on high settings for MMO's and EQNext when out I'll be happy.

I also have an old Radeon HD 6570 2gb card already for 2nd system so would need to be a worthwhile upgrade on that or if not worth it until can upgrade CPU pls let me know

I would go with either the HD 7790, GTX 650 ti, or the HD 7850/GTX 650 ti boost. The 7850 and the boost are a little above $150 sometimes, but you get what you pay for.

Is the MSI Twin Frozr really that much better then the MSI R7850-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB? Looks about the same besides cooling and not looking to OC. $20 difference, so would it be worth it?

Well, if you don't want to OC then go for the other msi as it will run exactly the same. Also, $20 dollars for better cooling is worth it in my book :p
