PSU is the power supply. (the thing that the electric cord from the wall goes into) If it is a Gateway just post the model number. You could use anywhere from HD5570 to HD5770 based on the PSU size.

For that price you cna get HD5770, but it dpend on your Power Supply Unit.
Just open your case and see it for yourself, there's must be a sticker on it...

SP1 stands for Service Pack 1.. And yes, like other have said till now, the HD 5770 will be a good purchase for you budget currently.. Just make sure your PSU (Power Supply Unit) is adequate enough to power it..

he has a gateway GT 56XX series. they come with 300w PSU (below DELL but better then emachines)

the other issue is the 1.8ghz CPU, it may be quad core but at that speed and its a first generation Phenom....

i would not get an ATI 5770 unless you plan to get a new PC in 12-18 months. the 5750 would give you the exact same performance but you would still need a PSU upgrade. I would just get an ATI 5670 PCI-E 2.0. I doubt you would see much a difference between any of the cards with that CPU.

I'd third that opinion.

as for whoever said to get a GTS 450, Its RRP is supposed to be $10 more than a 5770 while being on-par/slight slow than the 5770 sfaik.
