Help with gaming rig upgrade please?

lol ya no ways will a 5870 fit in that!! 5850 is your only real choice, beside 470GTX... Go 5850!!
 
Okay there's some stock issues with the 5850 so I have the following option on the Vapox-X at this stage:

SC-S5850V2G - Sapphire HD5850 Vapox-X edition (IN STOCK) - R3,399 excl Vat
SC-S5850V - Sapphire HD5850 Vapox-X edition (NOT IN STOCK) - R2,900 excl Vat

What is the difference between the two as I don't see it in the stock description.

and then:

CC-CH212P - Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus R234 excl Vat

Want to order today so final input will be appreciated.

Thanks!!
 
First card has 2gb of RAM, second card only has 1gb ram. 2gb is wasted unless you running 3 or more screens.
 
2gb isn't wasted. It'll make a difference. Just maybe not r500 worth of dif.

Definately NOT anywhere near R500 worth of difference at his res. In fact, some games run a few frames slower than the 1gb!

Just buy the cheapest 5850 you can find, Another vote for the VTX, or next cheapest brand. They all perform the same.
