I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I'm lost on what to buy as an upgrade for a 8800gt OC.

I have a Q9550, only a 550w PSU, 8gb ram and at the mo the 8800gt oc still run most things on high settings at 1680x1050.

So I've looked at the 5850 toxic (£280+) and the 5770 Vapour (£150). Now I don't play many games but I do like to have things on high settings. Is it worth going all out and paying close to £300 or will the 5770 (or any recommendations) will show a marked increase in gaming.

Any help is appreciated.
