Hi all

Just a quick question, I've wanted a high graphics card for aslong as I can think an now I can afford what ever one I want, but I can't afford a full new rig so I'm scared of causing a bottleneck,

MSi GTX 460 OC Edition 1GB
AMD Phen II X$ BE 955 - 3.2GHZ (stock cooler)
8GB DDR3 Ram
Win7 64Bit
Western Digital 320GB HD SATAII

Asus M4N98TD EVO 980a SLI Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
OCZ GameXStream 850W PSU - Silent 120mm Blue LED Fan 4x PCI-E 6x SATA

is what I currently have, I was looking at a GTX580 or ATI 7970, I play at 1920x1080 would that CPU be fast enough to handle them or should I buy a CPU cooler and try to get 4GHZ then get one of them?

I mainly play MMOs BF3,FM12 and SC2
