Buying a 5770 IceQ by HIS

[MagickHaru]

I am considering buying a HIS Radeon 5770 IceQ and I was wondering if it was a good idea. Currently my specs are:

Memory:6gb DDR2
Processor: AMD Phenom 9550 Quad Core
Graphics: Radeon HD 3400 series
Motherboard:AMD 780G chipset

I don't play any super heavy games, mostly just World of Warcraft and Battlefield Bad Company 2. If there is any other card that you guys would think would be better for 90-130$ I would appreciate the advice.

I haven't heard much about HIS so I don't know if their policy is any good so I am not sure how far I can trust them.

The HD5770 is the best performing GPU by ATI/AMD in your price range. HIS makes okay GPUs, but I prefer another brand if I were buying, like Sapphire or Asus.

I suggest the GPU below. Cheaper after rebate and gets better ratings than the HIS.

Also, make sure your PSU is up to the task!

Good luck!

The sapphire would be alright, but if you can stretch your budget by ten dollars I would def get this, it is well worth the money increase for the extra performance yielded over the 5770 imo. Also, the cooling design for this one is phenomenal so you could give it a nice overclock:

This is a nice alternative that will outperform the HD5770. Good suggestion.

+1^thanks, yeah and for very little increase on the budget and there is even a rebate involved I believe, the msi cooling solution is very nice as well... so basically your getting a rock bottom price on one of the nicer models out of all the gtx 460 768mb models...
