ATI/AMD: HIS 6870 $219 If you're willing to pay a little bit extra (well worth it)

HIS Radeon HD6850 1GB $169.00

6850 is the better choice, it out performs the 550Ti at almost the same price point.

They're the best at being out of stock cause idiots don't want to shop elsewhere and save money.

They're also very shady on returns and warranty claims.

I've returned 4-5 things to msy and i've only even had drama when i RMA'd a board (took 5 weeks for my replacement). Although i bought a new board in the mean time and they refunded me when my previous board came back.

There are two things to avoid when buying PC parts, MSY and Eddie @ Fluidtek

6850 will do the job perfectly, would be worth saving a little extra for a 6870 if you want.
