Best 5770 to buy

[chef-]

In the market, these cards seem to be the best card for the money that I want to spend. From my understanding there are a few variations of the card... was hoping someone could shed some insight.

My needs for the card are pretty simple. I play fast paced FPS games(specifically Fortress-forever.com) so framerates are most important to me. Good customer support/warranty is a +.

Something that will work well with:
Athlon II X3 435
ASUS M4A77D
4gb of OCZ ddr2 800mhz [5.4.4.15]
ULTRA 550W X2-Connect Power Supply

Thanks

XFX version w/ Egg-shaped cooler, maybe?

Many will tell you that the best 5770 is MSI's Hawk iteration. Largely because it's a custom bus but still allows for voltage increase and since it's MSI it plays very nicely with Afterburner, which should make for easy overclocks.

What's your resolution and do you care about overclocking it?

Edit: Truthfully, a 5770 is probably a bit of overkill for just Fortress Forever; the source engine is not especially demanding these days. Still a great choice, but if cash is a concern you can probably consider lower tier cards as well.
