Total Price is now: $809.9

I downgraded from the Radeon 6850 to the 5770. So the cost would be $810 not $860. Is this worth the price cut?

I reworte the O.P. and it now has all the parts listed with price. Sorry about the bad link earlier.

Well, first of all, you didn't actually say your budget, but if 50$ is too much for you, then HD 5770 it is. But I do recommend you spend that 50$ more and get the 6850.

Sorry, I had the budget posted before I changed he original post, it is $800.

Hmm, are you sure you can't spend more ( 50 $ I mean ) is it really tight ? HD 6850 is a good card and is about 40-50 % more faster than HD 5770. What games are you planning to play on this rig ?

I will play mostly WoW and LoL. I had to buy a monitor already, and that was $120. Now i'm looking at 810 for the computer plus another 50 for mouse and keyboard. So, i'm already sitting at $980, when the budget was $800. I quickly learned that $800 was way to low for what I wanted.

Do you play anything else ( more grahically demanding, example: Crysis )

WoW or LoL isn't demanding, so I guess, the HD 5770 would do fine for you.

I have never had the chance to play anything more than WoW or LoL. My current setup is beyond awful. I do play on purchasing Portal 2 and The Orange Box. I'm sure I will get into more gaming with a better computer.

If you do plan on playing more demanding titles, I'd go for the HD 6850 if thats okay with you ( in budget terms ).
