My current system is an old core 2 quad cpu (oc'd to about 3ghz, mostly stable) with 4 gigs of ram. The new one has an i7 980 extreme with 12gb ram, so I'm obviously keeping that (and its RAID-0 wd drives and the pcie OCZ revodrive, too)... but the videocard? Not sure.

It's a 5770 - and I run a 4770 already. from what little reading I've done, the biggest advantage of the 5770 is power efficiency and gaming at or below 1680x1050. My monitor is 1920x1200.

I mostly lately have been playing Tribes ascend, but I'd like to make sure I'm pretty future-proof-ish. Which one would be best to keep?
 
Oops, read the post wrong.

5770 is is on par with 4870, it's a lot more powerful than a 4770.
