Does anyone have it, and if so, do you recommend it?

RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX
HDD: Two WD 1TB Caviar Black's
CPU: Phenom Quad Core 2.5GHz
GFX: Geforce GT220 (Old)
And tons of fans...lol

I bought my Asus version of the 560 Ti (2 in SLI) from newegg and lots of fans. Crank up the game's video settings and go for it (BC2 and BF3 for me).

The pleb-version is already pretty smooth, i got one as an on the fly replacement (blackscreen + musical MoBo Saturday afternoon) for 1 evga_GTX285_FTW for twice+ the juice. To give a few tendencies, it "performs" not as good in benchmarks

(285 result with maxed out memory timings though (dominator @1600 XMP) couldn't be arsed with the 560), but under practical conditions the 560 returns rather higher but first and foremost more stable FPS rates; this as well with old and new games, in paricular it's way smoother in RO2, 90fps almost constant vs. 60-68 ish. It's cooler and more silent, 40°C vs. 52°C idle. Stable and solid. Bottomline thumbs up.
And for the future i'd rather get another mass product from a mass brand rather than a nifty-pricey niche product of a - still - mass brand, marginal performance gain plus more noise isn't really worth the less marginally higher price. Only pro was if you get 10 years RMA - not here, PartNo.-KR is 3 years anyway.

I think you can get a 570 for that price (ebga 570 HD for examle) - on the other side, i wouldnt put a highend-card like that in your sytem... If this this a Phenom I Processor.

You specs are missing one important piece of information; your PSU.
There's 150W+ difference in draw between your current card and the 560.

I don't remember what my PSU rating is. It has been awhile since I did any work in my tower.

Have you accounted for draw yet? A decent PSU is going to set you back about £120 if needed.

I looked at mine and it is a 1000W PSU.

This is the PSU that I have according to the model number.
