15/10 as of 1400hrs GPU update

Sapphire HD 5770 VaporX 1GB $196
Sapphire HD 5850 $380
Sapphire HD 5670 DDR5 512mb $119

Tradepac

The last card has usurped the price point filled up by previous gen GPUs like HD 4670 and with frames equivalent to a 9800GT with vastly lower power draw so peeps playing games on 1680 x 1050 high/medium no AA/AF or 720p/HD Ready LCD TVs HTPC/game hybrids should eye this as a rather good deal!

Given power draw, current PSU, etc

$289 PC HD 6850 would be my pick if u can afford ^^

But 289 seems to be out my budget. I could like to ask if should jus remain using 2GB ram then invest on a better GPU or get a cheaper GPU+ up my ram ?
