Planning on building a new computer that can run max graphics on games for good 3 years, then ultra-advanced for 1-2 years. < that possible?
Looking to build a new computer that can run max graphics on game for 5 years (realistically maybe 2-3 years max, then 1-2 years "advandedultra")
I only upgrade my computer every like 4-5 years.
Approximate Purchase Date: This Week
Budget Range: $800 (+~$100 if need more for PSU)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (Wow, SC2, etc), Web Surfing
Parts: These are all I need.
MSI X58 Pro-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard $190

Intel Core i7 930 (microcenter) $200
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 $145

Graphic Card: Recommended Graphic Card? (max graphics for 5 years? 3 years?)
I was looking at the ATI 5770, 5830, and 5850. Also at the Nvidia GTX 460.
How long would these graphic cards have me running games at max settings?
If you have better suggestions feel free to say something.
PSU: Recommended Watt?
