Which one

I'm buying everything in about 4 weeks. The only thing that might change is the graphics card depending on what you say I'm getting the proccesor for 70 from a friend who bought it but didn't use it. I will upgrade the processor in probably 2 years when the i7s get cheap. And I will play on my tv which I don't know why the resolution is.... I think it's like 1080 or something if that makes since. Also I'm going to buy 4 more gb of memory in like 6 months.

IMO, Well, good luck, with the PSU that comes with that case, if you want to go crossfire on down the road, you will have to replace it and BTW, don`t try any overclocking with it.

IMO=in my opinion and the raidmax power supply that comes with that case is not very reliable IMO.

Well I've got 2 close friends who have used the same case and psu and one of them has had his computer for 4 years and has nevr had any trouble with the psu. The other friend just bought his. Is it not reliable in your opinion because it's only 500watts?

It should play the games you said you want to play and movies. With that processor, it has 2 memory controllers, so with that processor i would just get another 2gb stick of memory. which should be more then enough.

I would recommend one of these cards over the 5670.

Either one will be faster than the 5670 and the 512meg card is only 79.99 after rebate. If you want to CFX later you could probably pick up another 4850 even cheaper. A 1gig 4850 CFX will be roughly in the single 5850 range. The down side is no DX11 or eyefinity but not sure if that is important to you.

Even the 80 dollar one is better than 5670?!?! Why is more expensive then

The 4850 is the last generation and are being phased out. Old stock is being sold at low prices. It is still a great card especially at that price. If you are only running one card then 512megs of ram is plenty. Neither the 4850 or the 5670 are fast enough to be run at resolutions that would need 1gig. 1 gig would be good if you were going to CFX though.

Well if I got the 4580 or whatever it is than would it be able to run fallout new Vegas ,oblivion, mw2, and WoW on the highest settings?

Here is a link to some benchmarks. I'm not sure if you can run the highest settings but you can see the relative performance of the 4850 vs the 5770 which is much faster than the 5670. Note that the CFX'ed 4850 scored exactly the same total frame rate as the 5850.

Whats cfx'ed

When you run two or more ATi cards, you're running them in CFX mode, or simply CFX'ed. I have two HD5870s and I'm running them in CFX mode. When run two or more nVidia cards, you're running them in SLi mode, or SLi'ed.
