Yeah i have a hd 5770 right now and its been a sweet little card. if my cpu was better i can eat up dx 11 games like scop, gtaiv, bfbc2. not to mention i get 200 fps on 1280x1024 @ max settings even screen filtering with css even in a server with like 60 people. Great card go for it if you can. Oh yeah its also a good idea to get another one later if you want to go crossfire.

5770's a great card though I swing nVidia. Do you specifically need a single-wide card?

 

Or will a double-wide (slot width) be okay?

 

double wide is perfectly fine.

 

BTW im just making a nice rig for xmas(my family has alot of $) and ive always been using gaming notebooks so im not really used to desktops

 

OH YEA IT NEEDS AN HDMI SLOT CUZ THATS THE ONLY WAY I CAN USE MY OLD TV AS A MONITOR(vga broke on it)

^ +1 i love my evga gtx 260 ive seen sli rigs out preform near same spec crossfire ones but i mean its really up to you not sure what your budget really is but if going nvidia id say a gtx 480 or gtx 580 (if you have the cash) otherwise dont really pay much attention to ati as ive had problems with them in the past

It's a good card, but you're not going to "eat up" any games with a single 5770 unless you plan on playing at low resolutions.

SLI is soooooooooooooooooooooo much better than crossfire!

 

Hope this is a joke

sli is better but you pay more for it.

the 5770 is the best at its price range. the only other card i would get is the 460 but you gotta pay more for a little increase.

to be honest though i wouldnt crossfire or sli i would save up and get a single powetfull gpu especially if your running at 1200-1080 plus resolutions

i would save for a 6950 or a 6870. a lot of games (wow for example) dont even support sli or xfire.
