i'm happy with 5850, but i haven't bought a videocard before that in like almost three years.
get as much as you can - the 4890, or even 5xxx

i got a combo from XFX - the vidcard and a PSU for $400, newegg. it was supposed to be for my new build, but i dropped the video into this machine.

so imma guess $300 for the card, $100 for the PSU?

Neither...

afaik the 5770 is the same price and power of a 4870... newer, DX11, HDMI, Tri-monitor compatible, less power (EDIT: as in electricity), less heat, less noise...

what's not to like?

Just found a nifty wee program. Takes filenames and you can rename a bunch of them at once. For example, I can change

Family_Guy_-_S02E01_-_Peter_Peter_Caviar_Eater

to

Family Guy - S02E01 - Peter Peter Caviar Eater

Now to change the '_'s to ' 's, that took me maybe 10 seconds. Per file, including time selecting each file... it all ads up. But I can drag and drop them into the batch renamer and it does it all for me in like 10 seconds.

Get it

Mine is better

This little Java app provides an interface to select which files (episodes) you want to rename. It then finds the episode title from a tv listing website and renames the files based on that.

How do I use this? .jar? I tried compiling it with JSmooth, but it's confusing me

Unless you want to do a raid0 (where they appear as 1 big drive to windows) or a raid1 (where they appear as 1 drive but both drives contain the same data) you don't need anything but plugging it in...

note that running raid0 pretty much fucks you over if one drive dies, where as raid1 saves your ass if the same happens...

Raid1 requires two equally sized drives preferably of the same model...

I downloaded "TVRenamer-0.4.1-gtk32.zip".. never read the file, just assumed it was in order of versions

If I'm going to ever get this, itll probably be within the next couple hours.  Seriously considering it, only drawback is the $1k price tag   (including taxes/shipping/etc)
