Maybe, if games start supporting DX10.

I'd say wait until you can get something a lot better that'll run nicely in Vista.

Also dude...ggrr....I hate vague thread titles... :mad:

yea and in another 6 months time newer hardware will be coming out again...new hardware is always coming out so it will go out of date just as quickly tbh

Agreed, in 6 months time everyone will be recommending the newest hardware and will think that the hardware that is out now is past it. Whenever you buy your new pc for £750 it will become as outdated as quickly as if you spent that £750 on newer hardware at a later date.

However saying that, with the new dx10 card being so expensive at the moment it would probably be best to wait till dx10 are cheaper and dx10 games are plentiful.
