The 6770 is noticeably faster than the 5670. However your CPU is going to be a significant bottleneck. You aren't coming anywhere close to maxing out Crysis 2 with that setup, and your CPU is below the minimum spec for MW3.

Out of that list the first one is best, the other one is used and these things are so dainty. out of the list I would buy the XFX, I am planning on building my own gaming rig sometime this year and even though I cannot buy any of their products, newegg is an invaluable source of help.

Sorry I'm not more help

Edit: I just read the list of games you plan on playing..........I would have thought Skyrim or BF3 to be on there....crysis is the only game I wouldn't play on the console due to shitty graphics. If I was you I'd save money and buy a 360/PS3.

But that's just me

Also you could invest in a little extra RAM.

First of all get a 64bit processor.HD6950/6970 OR gtx570/580 will be a waste of money with this c.p.u.it wont be able to handle those high-end gpu's.u wont get hight fps..try hd6770/5670 or anything before gtx560. Get a x4 atleast if you want to youse hd58xx.59xx.68xx.69xx or anythng like gtx 560ti

the 6770 is better but,

your gonna have to spend a lot more if you wanna run games like those maxed out with no lag.

look for cards like the 6950, 6970 or the GTX570 and GTX580 from nvidia.

one of those four cards will give you the kind of performance your looking for.



for a mid range card thats got great performance i'd go for the GTX560 Ti

this will be able to handle most games pretty well. but not totally maxed out



CPU isn't great either and will bottleneck performance if you do end up getting one of these cards.

check for for some ideas

and your gonna need to get another 2GB or RAM



hope this helps. and good luck
