you will get better performance out of a that gtx 260. it's marginal though--definetly not worth the extra 40$. grab yourself a 5770, do you have a crossfire capable motherboard? if you do then when you save up another 160$ and grab a second 5770 in a few months. when crossfired they approach 5870 performance (for ~100$ less)

Just get a regular HD5770. There's no reason to pay someone else to OC your card for you. You can do it on your own easily and to better effect. This one is a good brand, a good deal and allows you to modify the core voltage for higher overclocking potential;

what is a good psu that will run booth of these cards well, and also be cheaper

Depending on his CPU, those ratings seem a little low don't you think?

Don't get less than a 500w PSU if you plan to crossfire in the future, OR upgrade that video card in that rig. Either option will require at least 80% efficient @ 500w to be safe.

jyjjy suggested that i get the Asus EAH5770. how does that compare to the normal ati hd 5770?

Well, I really think 500W is really low, but i'm not sure. Try http://www.extreme.outervision.com/

There you can input your configuration and the page calculates the needed power and the recommended.
You can even consider the small loss that will happen over time. It's a great service. They consider even what everyone seems to forget. You'll notice when you try it.
