Sounds good, the 5770 is a damn good card for the price.  Hope you enjoy your upgrade  ;)

Also, you might want to look into mild overclocking to get more performance; ATI cards don't OC as well as Nvidia cards, but every little bit helps.

Yeah, we'll see.  The guy personally recommended NVidia's, but I thought I'd give ATI a shot.  It's gonna be a HUGE difference to my 9400 GT  ::)  So I'm sure I'll enjoy it very much, thank you  ;D

when it comes to audio over HDMI ATI is the ONLY choice right now. Up from 5770 (I believe - could be 5750 too) the ATI cards provide the "protected audio path" over HDMI, which none of the nVidia cards have.

Nice, thanks for that info there Poldi, didn't know that!
