Your current system needs some work before considering a new video card, mainly the power supply.

I'd recommend at least a quality 550 watt for the 4870. That 4850 is deactivated and you can't purchase it.

I understand the item has been deactivated, but I am able to purchase that card elsewhere. I plan on getting a power supply, so I will be fine in that regard.

The only thing is, I might be able to get the 4850 for 100 dollars. Is that performance of the 4870 worth the extra 54?
