Nice one dude! mine cost me £169 and I pretty much had the rest, but no graphics card. Had to upgrade the PSU in order to power the 5750~. XFX tuned cards are ok, I haven't tried others to give a valid opinion though :/

512MB > 1GB for low end cards.
Video memory means jack all, but what I'm really confused is how it's usually one of the few things advertised.

But then, I don't think you can get a 512MB 5770.

The 7900GTX really isn't a bad card (well, perhaps inefficient, but performance wise...), in fact, the 5570 is only marginally better, at least according to the rankings here: http://www.overclock.net/graphics-cards-...-last.html
But if it's failing really badly and can't hold on, I guess you don't have much choice.

7900 was well regarded as a powerhouse for its time tbf. ive got one sitting around at home which i can overclock to a bearable state even now with relative ease
