Thread: need help

I am currently upgrading with: MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67
4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz Single Channel Kit
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 2500K 3.30GHz Socket LGA1155
its dont support movies.
Embarrassingly my current GC is a Nvidia Geforce 9600gt.
I have been doing some research and the Radeon HD 5870 and the GTX 480 look good. However the much cheaper HD 5850 also looks pretty decent. I don't need blu-ray movies or 4d cinema and whatever i just want to play games like Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 at as high a setting as possible. My question is which of these cards is the best value for money. Is it worth the upgrade to a 5870 or is the GTX 480 better. Or is there a better option?
Cheers for the advice

Radeon 5870 definitely. If you consider price and gaming performance. That's my personal opinion, you should consult others, too.

Definitely good cards for HD movies and older games but, to be honest, Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 are out of their league. Look up the recommended requirements for the games and make an informed decision there. For both games and your setup, I would recommend this:
SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon HD 6750 1GB

A little expensive and over the top but worth it for those games. I use a 6850 1GB and it suits be just fine for both games.
