I know that nothing is future proof but am just looking for a general oopinion as to how long this setup would las b4 an upgrade was needed. I want a single 5850 so i would have a spare slot for future, however they are like goldust. I am not a Crysis buff, and mostly play games like COD, BF, and Diablo.. my biggest concern is the res I game at and the amount of use i would get out of the 5770's b4 an upgrade was needed. TBH my 8800GT is only now proving to be a problem for me.
