Hi,
I have a bit of cash around and was thinking of making a few pc upgrades
At present I have a Intel Core i5 CPU 2.67GHZ (quad core)
64bit OS
ATI Radeon HD 5700
4GB RAM

I was thinking of upgrading graphics card to Radeon 7 series but have never done this myself? Are they interchangeable or does it depend on motherboard etc? Is there anything else I need to check before buying one?

Would anyone upgrade anything else as well or in preference?

I use it mainly as a home computer but do play a fair few games online etc (mainly RTS).

HD 5700 ?
Is it 5750 or 5770 ?
Anyway upgrade to a 7770 is a good option.

Apologies - yea 5770 I think. Was looking at the 7770 - I can afford it, but is it easy enough to change them over?

Do I need to think about anything else? Power/fans etc or are they all integrated? I dont want to fry it!

Yes it is really easy to change them
And no you don't need to think about anything else.
