Does the 5850 or 5870 cards have long-term value? I'm generally an MMO and FPS enthusiast, but I tend to stick with games like CoD, L4D, etc... Currently, I have a 23-inch monitor that displays 1920x1080. At this resolution, which cards could give me maximum settings with AA? Note: I am getting a Corsair 850w PSU with SLI/Crossfire Ready and 80 plus certifications. I also plan to update my motherboard/cpu in the future.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz

Is this processor any good? I plan on upgrading it to an I5 later on. I also currently have 6gb of memory. I think that's okay. My HDD has 7,200 rpm. Also, I might have to upgrade my motherboard. I only have 1 PCI-E x16 slot. I do have a PCI-E x8 slot.
