Ya I'm not really a fan of ati cards. But I'm tired of waiting till nvidia comes out with there GTX400 series...
I'm kinda forced to buy ati because my GTX280 burnt on me 3.5 weeks ago. I've been using my old laptop to do my posts and emails. I need my uber rig working god dammit..
I have a lot of work to do and I'm kinda behind.

This is the card I'm looking at purchasing.
This is sorta within my price range.
There are a few models the store has in stock, HD-587A-ZNF9,
But I see two others newer ones above it. ZNE9 or XT and D9 or XXX.
I've seen the clock speeds and mem speed are abit higher? Is this because there OCed? or newer tech?
Also I've herd that the default clock speed is lowered by default from the factory. I never used catalyst before. Is that the program I need to edit the clock speeds? If not I herd of a program on majorgeeks to download that can fix this?
I've done some reading but I need to know how to properly setup this card in my rig.
So I'm asking you ati vets to give me the abc's and 123's on how to setup the card properly. I don't OC cards. I just want it running as it should be normally.
My system is as below,
