I would wait a bit and upgrade to a 5850 cause upgrading to a 5770 is not a big jump from the 4870. Also there is the option of the 5830 once it comes out.
Yeah, your computer is fine right now. Biggest upgrades would be a quad-core or like previously mentioned a 5850 or possibly 5830.
Dont buy from Overclockers.co.uk

Gee, at least back up your argument

Ok.
1. I brought a Sapphire 4870 that would crash the whole system in most games, which I found out later was because of a faulty bios most of the first gen sapphires came with and a simple bios update fixed it completely, did Overclockers pick up on this? nope. They sent the card back to me CHARGED ME £20 postage and said they tested it in Crysis and found no fault. And I had to live with a constantly crashing computer for about 1 month after, until my endless lurking of ATi forums finally brought me upon the fix.
2. I brought a Razer keyboard from there which im still using now which arrived with two faults, 1. the enter key is broken and 2. every so often the keyboard would completely stop functioning and I would have to unplug it from the back of my PC and plug it back in before it works again (great for when im playing TF2) When I sent it back did they replace it for me, or offer me a refund? nope after about 2 weeks I had a parcel in the post with the same keyboard and another £20 deducted from my bank account.
Now I have to live with a £60 keyboard that doesn't work, im sure Scan wouldn't have done this.
thanks for your feedback guys, forgot about the 5830, going to hold it out for a while

Overclockers sells the products, they don't make/test them.
That's the manufacturer's job.

But it is their job to replace faulty items.

No it's not.
They don't have to replace your shit if they don't want to, unless their policy says otherwise.
Read the policy before you buy. There are terms and conditions to purchasing from them.

Its called RMA
In the UK you (the online store) are required by law to replace faulty / incorrect items if the buyer did not see the item first hand before purchasing - Within 7 days though.
Anyone know how much a 5830 might cost?
