I wasn't thinking straight.... ^_^To the original poster, I reccomend that you wait for Ivy Bridge. They will be the same price as the current Sandbridge chips but they will likely hold greater OC potential and they have native PCIe3 interface and tri-gate transistors.After you get an IB, use the current GPU you have for a month or so until Nvidia releases their Kepler lineup.Overall, an Ivy Bridge paired with an Nvidia Kepler will give you fantastic framerate all at an affordable cost.
