Please give your advice and let me know why you choose your opinion. It would be most appreciated. Resolution = 1920x1080, games = BF:badcompany2, MW:2, H.A.W.X. Whatever else badass games come out.
And yes, i know I listed the i7-860 for $129.99, that is the price I am getting it for from intel retail edge
At the moment I am debating whether to spend the extra $130 and get a HD5850 so in a year or two I can do crossfireX HD5850, or whether a single hd5770 will suffice until I go crossfireX 5770... Gah! lol, i AM on a budget. Broke college student.

as far as the case goes, I already purchased a Lian Li PC-K62.
Btw, ive sat here the last 45 minutes looking at benchmarks between 8 games at 1920x1080 on max settings between the hd5850 and the hd5770 and recorded the fps between the two to find out the percentage increase in terms of performance, and then did the same with the 3Dmark vantage score and averaged out the 9 percentages. The HD5850 has a 40.4% increase in performance over the HD5770, though.. it also has a 72% price increase. You can weigh your options on if the price increase is worth 40% more performance or not.. I think I might go for it though.
