Please suggest PC components for nVidia GTX 460 1GB card

[reddevil2350]

Hi guys, I'll be build a new computer in 2 months. I have short listed a GTX 460 1GB graphics card. I'll be playing games in 1920*1200 or 1680*1050 resolution.

Please suggest me the cheapest processor and motherboard combo which will not bottleneck the card. I intend to use this system for as long as the card is capable of playing latest games.

Also, suggest me a good PSU for the system. I will be using 2 SATA-3 HDDs, 2*2 GB DDR3 ram, 2 optical drives and 1 sound card.

Thanks in advance ..

You might want to reconsider, the HD6770/870 (however they want to name it) is coming out by then and will definitely mix up the market.

The cheapest CPU/Mobo is the Athlon X3+AM3, and ct's [ats are pretty decent for the money, though you might want to OC it a little bit for CPU-intensive games.

But if you want to OC, the 740 might be a better buy for $10 more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103699&cm_re=Phenom_X3-_-19-103-699-_-Product

Thanks for the suggestions guys..

@greghome - I am not planning for an SLi system right now, maybe when Sandy Bridge or Bulldozer hits the shop.
