That card will be fine for those games at high settings, and your CPU. Although the CPU may not run the games too well on high settings.

Hi Hang

Thx for your reply I might want to upgrade my CPU at some point as well

I found this card EVGA GEFORCE NVIDIA GTX 550 TI

Which one of the two would you go with assuming my system can accommodate the 550 Ti

6770 should be more powerful.

I think the GTX 550 Ti and the Radeon 6770 are on the same level of performance. One might have a leg up over the other in various aspects, but they're very close.

Thanks for your feedback guys. I think I'm going to go with the ATI 6770 (mine will be ASUS) as recommended by the article Hang links in his signature NIVIDA's good but I'm used to ATI. If I could find the 550 Ti in my area for the same price I'd take a closer look. For some reason the vendors here are charging $30 more than the 6770 even tho they're comparable cards
