what is your budget? there may be a better option depending on what you have to spend...

I still have 300$, left with me..
suggest anything within 350$, i will get it a lot less than the prices @ newegg..
one more thing which frequency of RAM(DDR3) should (motherboard-TH55B HD
).. Only the components available @ newegg and tigerdirect (cause they match with the parts available @ my city..

get the ati 5850

and cas 7,1600 mhz,1.65volts or lower ram 4gb set

I agree, if you are looking to buy within the next week or so, get the 5850, or 5870 if it is within your budget, otherwise, wait just a week or so more for the GTX 480/GTX 470 as they will be released tonight and will take about a week to hit the shelves. I would wait for the benchmarks and prices for GTX480/470 first if it were me.

as for RAM, go with G.Skill Ripjaw series with cas 7 1600mhz, lost of great reviews and it is what i am going to get very soon to go with my i5 750.

yeah, i would wait for the benchmarks of the 470 and see what the prices are, if they are within budget and the performance is better than the 5850, no reason not to, LOL Good Luck!
