Which Card to get?

[rvg90]

ATI Radeon 5770
AMD Phenom II x4 3.4ghz 965 BE
4 GBs of ram
Asus Crosshair V Formula
That's my current setup i was planning to get a new card and another 4 gigs of rams but i didn't know what to get honestly, i heard about Crossfire technology in my motherboard but honestly i didn't seem to understand it well, does it mean that i can get another 1gb card and they both make 2gb memory available? and if so which cards are compatible with mine?

Another HD5770 and NO they will not make 2GB memory, it will be more powerful but still have 1GB memory.
A single HD6950 will perform better than 2 x HD5770 in CF and not have any dual card issues.

What's your budget, power supply make and model, and monitor resolution??

Without those answers nobody can make any suggestion.

Didn't put an exact budget yet but i can't afford anything expensive atm, my monitor resolution is is 1320 x 768, power supply make and model how to find that out?

It would be on a sticker on your PSU.

At such a low resolution, I really don't see any reason to upgrade your graphics.

I'd upgrade the monitor first, then worry about upgrading the video card.

The standard today is 1920x1080 and that's what most modern cards are designed to run.
