You could also consider a 7770 for just a little bit more. I have an XFX 7770 that's really a solid performer for work and better than average gaming. It's got more stream processors than the 7750 and should perform a little better than the 7750.

It's a fair bang for the buck, IMO.

Thanks Mellon,
Sorry for the delay, been sorting out a system thing here.
I might be able to squeeze out a little more on the budget, the 7770 does look a good bet.
Have a few good ideas now, so will evaluate things and see where too go from there.
Thanks for your info, real world experience is what I was wanting to hear about.
Mick.

Sounds great. I think you'd be happier with the 7770. Like I said, I have an XFX card right now that I'm very happy with, but I have used Sapphire cards in the past with fantastic results as well. Either brand would be good and maybe one would be on sale.

Good luck on your choice. :)

Just don't forget the 7770 also requires more power than the 7750. Maybe 80 watts vs. 55 watts, and resulting additional heat generated. "Recommended" PSU of 450W vs. 400W.

This may or may not be important in your machine.

Good point. The OP has an 850W PSU, so I think he'll be alright with the 7770.
