Thinking about upgrading my 5850.

[MrH]

I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU and I'm just wondering if the rest of my system is up to the task? I'm pretty sure my CPU won't bottleneck me but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I mainly want to upgrade for BF3, I was getting 45 - 60fps on low in the alpha and ideally I want to run at 60fps+ solid.

Current specs:

i5 750 @ 4GHz
4GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
5850 @ 775/1125
80GB SSD

I'm thinking about buying either the GTX 570 or 580, what do you guys think?

I cannot see how anything would be bottlenecking a better card. About the only thing I would consider doing is 6/8gb ram, but even that is not really required!

get another 5850/5870 for xfire for now, then after the new gpus from nvidia and amd are released get the best one you can afford?
