You can go for - XFX ATI RadeonHD 5770] 1 GB DDR5...pwns all

Pwns all? In what matter?

But, yes, 2Gb is insufficient.

Hey,
You can go for - XFX ATI RadeonHD 5770] 1 GB DDR5...pwns all,

also 2 Gb ram is too Less man,

2gb memory is too low so go for at least 4gb, then dont go for a nvidea card, go for the latest ati hd 5000 series, then finally go for the amd phenom x4 955 be.

Those latest cards will cost some extra, let's see.
and nobody is clarifying my questions about SLI

Seeing as nobody is offering any real advice, I'll pitch in.

- I'ld buy maybe 2 more GB of RAM (It'll go a long way)
- I can't seem to find the 5500 online. Do you mean the 5570? Also, why not invest in something better since you're into gaming and IF your budget allows it?
- You don't really need the sound card for your gaming purposes. The inboard should do fine
- I'ld also invest into a bigger PSU for the near future when you add more components. This site should help: http://educations.newegg.com/tool/psucalc/index.html


Your setup is nice but it's not how I would do it. I would go for an i5 setup with the highest 5xxx series card my budget would allow and wouldn't buy a sound card.

If it helps:

I run a pair of stock SLI'd 1Gig 8500GT's (For graphics rendering, not gaming) & the difference is obvious compared to the 1Gig 9500GT I used before - Even when it was clocked!

Some of these cards are dirt cheap now, so if you can afford a pair with decent specs I'd be tempted to do so. You could always clock a couple of lower spec'd ones & share a bit of system RAM if you've any to spare
