I am thinking about buying the Zotac GTX 470 just because I can get it locally right now for $50 then a 5850 but the GTX 470 included 3 games (Mafia 2, Just Cause 2 and Dirt 2)
I know the 470 is the Power Eater but to be honest I don't really care. My 700w should be fine with 50a on the 12 volt rail.
I just built my computer 3 weeks ago and went with a 5770 but have decided I want to get back into gaming more than Casual so I have put it on Ebay. I wish I just bought a bigger card to start.
I spent about twice my budget as the SSD's were not originally part of the plan, and since I've gone this far I figure I may as well top it off with a high end card.
Which would you prefer? The 5870 is a little out of my budget
