want to run every game on max settings.....
so is a 5670 enough for me ?
or can you suggest a better bang for buck card?
my system:
c2duo e4500 2.2ghz(i can oc)
2gb ram
a low quality 550watt psu....
1 seagate barracuda 250gb hdd
1 case fan
now after overclocking cpu,if i need a good psu then any suggestions will be appreciated
also will my cpu bottleneck my card?
or will my ram bottleneck it?????
any other suggestions are most welcome.

Well, it depend on the games itself...
For your (low) resolution, you will need a FAST CPU better than GPU, so HD5670 is already good enough for your resolution.
You MUST OC your CPU a little high (3Ghz if your can) so you can play any games recently with decent setting. :)

About RAM, what OS do you use? XP? Win7? 32bit? 64bit?
If you use Win7 64 bit then add another 2GB of RAM (2+2 GB), that should help a little bit.
But for now OC your CPU first...
