Upgrade from 5770, best move?

[or-ex]

Ok, i have a asus 5770 with a 2500k. the 5770 in a EXTREME bottleneck to my cpu, so i need to upgrade.

I want the asus gtx 560 (i'm a asus fanboy...lol) but i don't have all the money right now. so i'm considering selling my 5770 for 100$ (hopefully i can get that much) and use a old radeon 2400 that i have in the mean time... so, do you think i could make a better move? like cf my 5770 with another 5770? or what?...

Getting a $100 for your 5770 is optimistic. Going with GTX560 or higher card is a good plan.

dang... bro, that's true. i don't even see any bids on them on ebay for over 80$... you think i should just CF my 5770? cuz i can get one really cheap for like 80$, and then mid next year just get a gtx 660?

If your PSU can handle it it is the cheap solution and not a bad one!

Ya, i have a 600w, you think that will work?

A quality one will! 600 meets what manufacturers recommend.

good idea, imo. CF with a 6770 (newegg $110-115: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600100181%20600083901%20600150232%204017&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=48%7C14-161-387%5E14-161-387-TS%2C14-127-599%5E14-127-599-TS%2C14-102-940%5E14-102-940-TS%2C14-150-540%5E14-150-540-TS%2C14-131-434%5E14-131-434-TS ). the performance will be between a 6870 and 6950
