ALRIGHT SO!.... here is my conclusion and i wanna know what you guys think.
Get an i5, and a gtx460?
Questions: New ram and mobo for my system? If i get an i5 750 and GTX 460?
Alright i found http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0342001
Thats a GTX460. Is that enough to run it with my system? thats really cheap for a better card than mine. But is it better than a 5870 or 5970?
