I have a 3 1/2 year old computer (i7-930, 6GB ram, Radeon HD 5870) which is still perfectly fine for everything except cutting edge games, so I want to hold off on replacing it for as long as possible. My current plan is to build a brand new system when the successor to Haswell-E comes out, maybe in late 2015 or 2 years from now, and upgrade my GPU in the meantime.
So what are some recommendations for a card that will play the latest games on a single 1080p monitor at ultra settings for the next 2 years? This is the only computer hardware purchase I'm making in a 5 1/2 year timespan so theoretically price isn't a concern, but I'd prefer to buy the least expensive card that would fit the above criteria.
