The price seems amazing, will be playing cod4 so i need it to be able to get 125 maybe even 250 with LOWEST settings

AMD 4000+ Clawhammer (Might get a dual core as i suspect i will be throtlled)
2GIG PC 3200
X850 XT PE (Current gfx card - will i notice a big upgrade?)
GIGABYTE GA K8NXP-SLI
480w Butterfly psu, bad 12v rails but its not power hungry card is it

Will having this card and then upgrading my cpu enable me to play newer games without a problem, atleast on medium settings?

Is it worth waiting 1/2months in the hope the card will become cheaper or will it not become cheaper than this?
 
socket 939 not sure what ddr, probably ddr1 its corsair pc 3200, so when are the new cards coming and IT WILL GET CHEAPER? if so ROUGHLY when? coz i dont mind holding out for a month or 2 as im not desperate and need to save cash for a cpu anyway
 
looking at a butterfly 480w post it says

Unfortunately, the PSU I have is only rated for 17A on the 12v rail

So 17a on the 12v rails, i shouldnt have a problem should i?
 
i am on a 17" so 1280x1024 would be my main resolution, dont really plan to go much higher, if i did it would be above 19 so :D

*EDIT* just out of curiosity what is the voerclocking like on the 3850?
