    just some questions for thought ...

    1. how much $$ can you afford to a new graphics card and a new sound card?

    2. what model of the HD 5700 do you have, and probably want to be sure your power supply is still good

    3. do you play video games that would be good with a good graphics card?

    Hope your happy with what you get in the end :)

      My mainboard is 'ASUS P5KPL-SE'  Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU 2.42Ghz

      Video: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series (1GB DDR5 4x1.2GHz) 

      Sound: SB Audigy SE OEM.

      Maybe my sound is still OK but as a gameplayer, Video is important.

      I can aford to pay a good price for my gear and I usually do mate.

        Sorry that sounds ignorant, I was only trying to say that I try to get the best I can and the price doesn't bother me all that much guys.    Not trying to be ofensive ;D

          Well I've got this sorted fella's.  Lashed out and updated all my stuff other than my sound.  Things are fine now.
