The other option for a bit more future proofing would be to change the setup to a I7 950 as it's today's special with a Asus Sabertooth X58.

I would knock off the gtx 460 and wait till next after christmas.

Just use my X1950XTX for now. Would that work with the board?

Thansk,

Carl
 
thanks, I currently have no pc and i'm so itichy to get a new build going. It's been a while since my last build...see sig.

I beleive the i7 would last me a lot longer than the i5. Although i want something to be longer lasting than bang for buck, hope that makes sense.
 
sorry for going on....

if i was to wait and get a 570 would the system be good enough for that GPU?

Although the 460 is in the basket ready to buy!!!
