Before? I think it may be a little late for that

Wait, the Radeon you linked me to the Canadian site was actually the American site, so I found this one on the Canadian site.

It's the same as all the others right?
Newegg.ca - BIOSTAR VA5775NHG1 Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
And if it is as good and the same as the others I guess I'll buy this
Newegg.ca - CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-650HX 650W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
All together it's $345 Canadian after tax and shipping.

The PSU is perfectly fine, but I personally wouldn't touch the BIOSTAR 5770.

Why? Is it not the same as all the other ATI 5770's?

You need to look at what you get with different companies when going for the same card. Some give better warranties or extra goodies. Some have lousy customer service (looking at you Vision***)

Just something to think about :)

Try disabling Windows Media Player network sharing service, it helped me.
Defrag your HD, run some cleaning programs (optional), clean the case, get rid of the dust. Try to remember any changes that you made in the last few days.
Try disabling V-Sync, which limits FPS to 60.

Oh, and really the human eye can't notice the difference after 72 FPS. Oh right, and if your computer used to play at 150 FPS, wouldn't that be like in a super fast motion?
