The Sapphire HD4850 Vapor-X 1GB dropped in price to €129, hmm might just be worth it.

I thought 4770's OC'd > 4850's OC'd since they have so much headroom. But that 1GB is good for high res so it depends if you're into that kind of thing

Yes it's a hard choice. I game at 1920x1080 so 1GB might be useful. And the Vapor-X is a very nice looking cooler and does a very nice job. It's also pretty silent.

And the HD4770 + Scythe Musashi (or AC Twin Turbo) is the same price in total as the HD4850 Vapor-X.

If I were in your shoes......I'd probably look badass...jk. I would get the 4850. It just makes more sense.

Yeah it's a nice case. But it has 2 downsides, it's big (I dont have much room where I put my pc) and it has no dust filters. Dust filters are a must. The other case I was considering was the CM ATCS 840, which does have dust filters but then again it's huge.

And don't tell me to use the stockings from my girlfriend as dust filter

The shop I'll be ordering from is Salland.
