Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards [Solved] To good to be true?

Well I was thinking of upgrading my Graphics card, because that seems to be the weak point in my system currently, I was looking at getting a GTX260 and I have a few questions:

1. Is this offer to good to be true? Does Galaxy make good graphics cards etc?

2. Do you think my PSU can handle it?

3. Do you think I should upgrade my graphics cards or something else (specs are in siggy)

Thanks in advance!

1. Apparently not.
2. Depends on what else it needs to power, but a 600w should be able to handle it.
3. Sure. Why not. I think a 260 is a good step up from 2 8500's.

But I have an Nvidia chipset, so in the future i wont be able to upgrade via SLI. What do you guys think?

Makes it a tougher choice. Do you feel that you are likely to sli in future?

I mean, sli'd 260's are obviously faster than a 4890, but I'm unconvinced about the extra cost being worth that for what is basically last generation cards now.
