    Current Mid Range: HD 3650 512mb GDDR3 $75
    IMO not really worth it, given that the next upgrade is many times better and only 25$ more

    Entry top end card, a great card, my personal card, runs all modern games on hi in hi res, except crysis Still fantastic and a great vallue:

    Top of the Line:
    HD 3870, a decent upgrade from the 3850, especially if you don't overclock. This is a nice card, and probably worth it if you are a demnding player:

    Very best, your PSU prolly can't take it:
    ATI Radeon HD 3870X2 (this card is actually two HD 3870's in one board). If your power supply is good this is a nice option if you got the cache. It'll pull 35-40 fps in crysis very hi 1920x1080.

    I recommend the HD 3850 with overclocking, best bang for the buck. Also, if you are willing to overclock, an Intel E2200 CPU will give you an amazing performance boost for a mere 80$. It works with your 800 FSB mobo so that's a plus (aka it won't be underclocked when you put it in).

    thanks man im really liking the second one which you have. After checking it out on the site it does look pretty good and its way way better then what i have now. Yeh unfortunatley crysis is a good game i just think its well ahead of its time for computers because most cant handle it.
