Hi people. I am want to replace my saphire 6750. The shop i buy from has a sale on sapphire 7850 2gb, is it any good? Or should i get smth else? What can the community recommend?
Sapphire HD 7850

EDIT: this will be my video card for 2-4 years

A Sapphire 7850 is a nice step up from your 6750. I looked around the website you linked from and couldn't find anything 850-900 Lei that would suit you better. The nearest Geforce I could find in that price range was a Gigabyte 660 for 999 Lei.

Of the two, I'd stick with the 7850 because it gives about the same performance for less money. If you can afford more money, say, 1000-1100 Lei, you could get a 660 Ti or a 7870 that would be a step up from a 7850

I was thinking of getting another SSD from the leftover money i save by getting the 7850. I allready ordered an intel 330 60gb ssd for windows,office and other apps, and thinking of getting another one for games or raid them.Plus i have to see if any of the cards fit in my case(CM USP 100) and if i have enough power (CM GX550)

A 550 Watt power supply should be fine for you. Purchasing an SSD is also a good choice as it will speed up boot time and application load time considerably. The intel 330 you've chosen is quite a nice drive

Personally, I wouldn't want to use SSD's in a raid array because raid arrays don't support the TRIM command that Windows uses to help SSD's maintain good performance as they fill with data. That being said there are many users who don't mind at all using SSD's in raid....

the SSD is incredible . i got down to 11.4sec boot from 38sec

I wouldnt bother with Raid personally...just keep them separate.

Since you have an SSD for the OS ect. I'd get the best card you can and wait on getting another SSD. While you may get some better load time the better GPU will give you a better gaming experience than the SSD.

Allready got the new card

it`s awsome . Can`t wait to get a second one to do a crossfire setup. From what i have seen, the performance gains are around 30-40% compare to a single GPU. :drool:

Who said anything about Raid? Two separate partitions on two separate SSD`s
now i have 4 partitions and 3 hdd`s

EDIT
Ooops. I was in pain when i wrote the Raid post. Ignore the Raid part

!!!UPDATE!!! Had to buy a new PSU the GX can`t handle the new GPU +OC`d FX+all the other sh*t. Just ordered an OCZ Fatal1ty 750. Is it any good?

OK on the new PSU here is a post of a review and a list of PSU'S that the members has already looked at and listed AJ. :thup:
