So, I've been out of the loop for around 4 years due to "life" stuff. I literally haven't got a clue what's come out in those years with regards to video cards and CPUs! I would only be able to afford stuff in the low/mid range, but am not sure if it would be worth it or not. The other issue is that I'm limited (for the foreseeable future) to a 23" 1366x768 display, so again, not sure if it's even worth it.

The current setup is an i3 3.2GHz, GTX 460 768MB, and 8GB RAM. I have got an SSD I'll be putting in for starters, but what about the rest? Would it cope with all the games I've missed in recent years at the above res with AA? Are there any bargains out there that would make a worthwhile difference?

Ta! :)
 
Upgrade to a 1080p monitor and maybe a 290x if you can stretch that far. See what you have to spend and go from there thats what i do.
