Worth Upgrading XFX HD5770?

My XFX Radeon HD5770 has recently stopped being able to output to my TV (for whatever reason). I'd vaguely been thinking about getting an upgrade anyway, and I'd quite like to get something with an HDMI output -- might work better with the TV than converting DisplayPort -> HDMI as I have been doing. Only thing is, looking at the latest chart:

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32374-7.html

The HD5770 looks as if it's pretty high up. I wasn't thinking of going much above £100, maybe £120. Is it realistic to think I can get something more powerful (with an HDMI output) in that range? (Oh, also, I want something that's not *too* noisy... .)

Thanks,
Mohan

I will link you to some cards but I would not suggest you buy the card untill you post all of your spec's and the card that will be linked is US based retailer. You would have to use amazon or a local shop.

The HD 6770's specs are to close to your HD 5770. So the nest best card would be the HD 6870 provided that your PSU is big enough to power it. I linked you to the card and a chart. Good luck to you

Thanks for the reply! I'm unfortunately not sure of all the specs -- I bought this computer rather than building it. I'll poke around for a bit and try and figure out what all the specs are, and maybe come back to you.
