I don't really have a set budget... I like the price on the 7750, could go higher for a better value.

7850 is the best bang for buck at the moment.

How long do you think I'll be able to go until it's time for an upgrade, should I purchase the 7850? Also, how much of a difference is there between the 1GB and 2GB versions?
get the 2gb version. a lot of games use that much memory

Ok, so before I buy it... I just want to confirm some things...
This, along with more RAM, will substantially boost my performance in games. There won't be any serious bottleneck issues with my CPU?
Also, is selling my videocard on ebay the thing to do? How much is a used 5670 with the box, disc and all that worth?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a measure-twice, cut-once kind of guy. Pos rep coming.

Sleeping Dogs is $10 on GMG. Haven't played it yet and heard good things about it. Thinking of biting.Edit: It's not $10 it's $21 for the whole pack including DLC but it's not available in my region(US) ??
The $190 one is fine, they are all pretty much the same shyt besides different fans and designs.

THE CPU is a bottleneck, but you will be able to play everything just fine.

Sorry to bug you again, but, I was looking around for which 7850 I should get, and I read that the 7870 is a better price/performance buy. What do you think? Here's one I found on Amazon
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11199-20-20G/dp/B00AWKYB1M/"]Amazon.com: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT with Boost 2GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / Dual Mini DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11199-20-20G: Computers & Accessories[/ame]
Worth the extra ~$40?

You'll be ok. Once its time to dump AMD, that 7870 and the ram can be dumped to your new build.I ordered it (and 4 extra gb's of ram)...
Still wondering if I did the right thing
