Upgrade suggestion

[renegade757]

I'm looking to upgrade my integrated card to something suitable for FPS games. As of now, I run the HD4200. My budget for the card is up to $200 not including the power supply. Any upgrade suggestions will be appreciated.

If you get a PSU that can support it this is the best deal for the money right now by a good amount;

Another option that makes some sense in terms of price/performance would be this HD6870 for $200;

It is faster than the HD5850 but only by about 5%. I'd mainly consider it if you are really interested in the free game and don't mind waiting a few months to get the $20 back from the rebate.

I'd agree to go with the 5850.
Here's what you could get for $200

Saphire 5850 $140+Free Shipping

Antec 500watt $60+Free Shipping

Total should be around $200 maybe a bit more for tax.
