btw, can't you just use the optical drive from your current comp?
The performance diff aint big between 5770 and 4870.
Most of the reviews is also from the release of 5770, the drivers have been improved sinse that, and will be even more.
Dx11 is 5770is biggest argue, it may not me nessesary with dx11 atm. Those few games who got it now has just a few details in DX11. But more and more games will support DX11. With more and more details, and don't forgot tesslation.
A year from now, when many games support DX11. To think back of the choice you did today, to skip dx11 due the gain of 5 fps witch is loost anyway because of improved drivers in the 5770 would just be silly.
Also the 5770 is alot more power efficiency.
