1. what is your budget?
2. what resolution do you play games at?
based on your given specs alone, you might be better off with a radeon hd 6850 (127w tdp) or 6870 (151w tdp) 1 gb gddr5 gfx card.
if you can't fit any of those in your budget or case, then the radeon hd 5770 or 6770 1 gb gddr5.

sorry i cant even max the newest games with my 560 ti which kills all the cards you listed looks like you need to save up some more or lower your expectations

1. I plan on buying a used one, so 60$-80$ I searched for my listed cards, and i could get any of them for lower than 80$
2. 1440x900

Here's a 4890 new for $70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103194&Tpk=hd%204890

It doesn't have dx11 support, but it's faster and cheaper than a 550 Ti or 6770.

Will this card run perfectly on my system ? And i live in europe, Lithuania, so cant buy from there ;(

Yeah any PCIe card will work with your motherboard, it's all backwards compatible. I would look around for deals, if you find a 4890 for sale it will likely be a lot cheaper than a 6770 or 550 Ti with greater performance.

hagmend, you will not run games on "max" settings with these cards. You can run most games on "high" or "ultra", but new games like Battlefield 3 will kill a 4890 on "max"

On the ASUS calculator it came to 500w for me. Your 500w should be able to handle it since it's a pretty decent one (Corsair) as long as you aren't doing heavy overclocking or anything.

So i should go with the 4890, it sucks up a lot of watts, so i dont really want to get her...

I was plannig on buying 5770 or 6770, but 4890 is better, but it uses double the electricity...
