I currently have a Athlon X4 640, 4 GB Corsair RAM at 800 MHz, ASUS M4A784-M,and a integrated Radeon HD 4200 on motherboard.
I'm wondering whether or not if I get a GTX 580 will there be a extreme bottleneck and would they be compatible? Also, if there's a bottleneck is there something else I should upgrade for PC gaming like getting a new mobo, CPU, etc...

thx

GTX 580 should get 50 FPS upwards average on Crysis 2 I'd say. Personally I wouldn't spend 5K on a PC I'd spend some now and then some in the future on upgrades. Also just because the screen is 62", the resolution is still 1920X1080 (The same as a 24" monitor) so 3 GTX 590s is major overkill.

I don't think you can Tri SLI the GTX 590 because it has 2 GPUs inside it, so you can only have 2 in one system working together.

The CPU is only temp Imma get a phenom 1110 soon but how much power should I have to use the the specs I currently have also, do i need more RAM?

Would my current specs (excluding the future phenom CPU) be able to run HL:2, Garry's Mod, Counter strike source, or any of the the more prominent games on steam? ( That are in the 2005-2009 margin)

This is my temporary build... In two to three months Imma get replace almost everything becasue I have approx a $5000 budget

BTW, Thx much for your enlightening reply =)
P.S. I might run games on my 62" plasma with the DVI port, that's somewhat why Imma get tri-sli with GTX 590
