I found 2 radeon 5750's for 145$ and a radeon 4850 for 120$. Which one is better? The 5750 is 128-bit, but is the newer generation with DirectX 11. The 4850 is 256-bit with DirectX 10.1. Also, if the 5750 is better, which one of these two? (links listed below)

The HD5750 is better. See here for a detailed comparison: http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=616&card2=566

The VXL model has slightly higher clock speeds, and the L model has free shipping. Both cards can be manually overclocked anyway, so I would go for the one with free shipping.

What card are you upgrading from, what is your PSU, and what resolution do you play games at?

XP doesn't support DirectX 10 or 11, so are you planning on upgrading to Windows 7?

I am building my own computer now. emosun helped me out ALOT in the "Which card is better for me?" thread. I am planning on having Windows 7 64-bit. I am going to have a corsair 650W PSU ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 ). I am not planning on playing any high demand pc games, just surfing the internet and playing a couple online games.
