If you can spend ~$150, then you can get Radeon 9600 PRO or 9600XT, which are much better card than FX5600

Yes like Spitfire said stay away from the FX5600.

Stick to the FX5700 or the R9600 series. The FX5600 is a very poor performer. And unless you can buy one for significantly less (like half the price) than theothers, stay away from the FX5600.

I have a 5600... and do not even think of buying one... Because of the recent desaster with my 9800 Pro had to install it and I'm trully mad with it.. Extremely bad performance in DX9... It only works well in DX8 games.. Its 128bit aren't really enough for anything new!
