Building Gaming PC - Need Help on Graphics Card Selection

How's it going guys?

This is my first time building a PC and I would like to make it suitable for gaming for the next few years. I already expect to spend 800 or more on the entire thing, but I'd like to cut corners where possible while maintaining efficiency.

From browsing this site, it looks like the Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5
seems to give the most bang for the buck, but I'm not the best when it comes to understanding the details of parts. So, I was wondering if you guys would be willing to give me a bit of advice.

Here are the specs I plan to have:

i7-930 CPU
1 TB HDD
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Radeon HD 5770
ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Antec 650 Watt PSU (I've been leaning toward the Antec case too since it seems they are more reliable over the Raidmax brand I was looking at).
AOC 22'' monitor. 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (Already owned).
Windows 7 64 mb

I would like to play games (i.e. Tropico, MW2, BF:BC2, SFIV, etc) in pristine quality, and would like to avoid upgrading any part for several years. What card would best suit this set-up? If you notice anything else that should be swapped, feel free to suggest.

Thanks in advance guys.

what does the graphic card cost?
(maybe you write the other prices,too?)

i7-930 was 200.
Seagate Hard-drive was 60
Corsair 6 GB DDR3 is 230 (yikes).

If I went with the 5850, would I have to worry about upgrading anytime soon? I just checked a price range for it and it's hovering around 300. Wow. Is there anything cheaper that could get the job done?

go wid an i5 and take

i agree with tamz
i have an i5-750 with 5770 vapor-x
and when i game the cpu always stays below 30% usage
so a i7-930 would be a total waste
x58 platforms are also more expensive
and you dont benefit much if you dont do crossfire to make use of the more PCIe lanes
so go back to i5 and p55 and use the bucks for a 5850

maybe you should buy a good middle class card for about 100-120$first
and safe your money for a high end card.

then you can use them in crossfire (if they are compatible)!
the mainboard is nice, i´ll think about buying it, too
and you may have a look for this PSU:

or another one on this newegg- page
with a better price performance ratio:

and some nice ones(read the rewiews, the good and the bad ones.)
(this would be cool with your case, too)

Microcenter has the hyper 212+ for $5 cheaper. I would go for at least the 5850 seeing your resolution.
Also do not skimp on the power supply. For a single card a good 500-550w will be fine. If you plan to cf in the future I'd get a good 700-750w PSU.

I'd recommend this for a single card
