I would get the soon to be released renamed GTX 260 in a week or two. It's going to be sold as the HD 5770 and comes with DX11. Luckily it's also faster than the silly ATI card called the HD 4870 and even the 4890.

That rebadged 5770 will set you back $170-190 and if that's too steep try the $150 HD 5750 which is also DX11 part and will drop your electric bill by 50% over the much older GTX260.

Yes I wrote all that the way I meant to.

what is the brand of ur psu? generally a good brand 500W psu is enough for gtx260 and quad core setups. And yes wait for a while. the 5770 takes less power less heat and outperform gtx260. if u dont like ati then wait i guess nvidia is getting a 40nm version of gt200 series cards. grab those instead and meanwhile the price will drop to a reasonable one

I ordered 650 watts psu too hope it will handle all in full performance.
