Cant decide...is the 5850 the right choice?

[slayem]

Hey all, I am building a new i7 pc, i7 920, 6 gbs ddr3. and i was originaly going for a 5870 but its too expensive for my tastes. so i am trying to decide...should i go with a 5850 or...an nvidia equivalent, like a gtx 275... I am hearing great things about the 5xxx series, but i cant help but wonder if im choosing the right card. Also i will be using the pc mainly for gaming.

thanks
matt

5850 it uses less power and is silent, has better performance and Dx 11.

Clear decision.
