I have a HD 5850 1gb with an after market cooler on it. I have been looking to upgrade but is it worth it right now with all the AMD price craze? I did have a 7850 2gb but I had to build my girlfriend a gaming PC(she is addicted to games now :) ) so im back to my old 5850. If it is time to upgrade what is a good choice? Now im not made of money so i want to stay under $200, maybe something I can crossfire or SLI later on when i have the money(I dont know how long that will be).

 

My system

Cooler Master HAF XB 

G860 pentium (Don't trip its good for games,Gave my I3 to my girl)

MSI Z77A-G45 Mobo

6Gb 1333 (had 12gb but gave 6 to my girl)

Sapphire HD 5850 1gb + Arctic Accelero twin turbo 2

SilverStone Strider Plus 850W 80 plus silver full moduler(I have room to grow with this)

WD Black Scorpio 750gb HDD

32Gb sandisk readycache (will one day go full SSD)

Lightscribe dvd player (YES I STILL USE DVD PLAYERS)

With $200 you could probably get a 750ti.
