Leadtek GeForce GTX 460 1GB DDR5 PCI-E

Going for a total of about 2300 USD.
Also, I have this unused 9800GTX+, what is your advice should I leave it for physX and compromise the idle 40W-50W and the heat, or just put it aside and use it whenever I feel its needed. And are there any other uses in having 2 GPUs.Do photoshop, after effects or in fact any editing program benefit from such an endeavor?
Thank you in advance.

That RAM is not safe for an x58 motherboard. You want RAM with below 1.65V requirement (preferable a 1.5V requirement) not 1.65-1.85V.

i7 950 is faster and may be the same price.

Haf makes a smaller 912 model now that has dust filters and may be a better value for you.

You could stick with the 9800 GTX+, if its doing a good job for you now. If not then sell it on ebay or use it to convert an old machine into a secondary gaming machine. Its still a decent gaming card that will play most games at medium-high settings on a 1680x1050 monitor.

Sadly the shop that I am using doesn't offer i7 950.

I prefer the bigger model because I'm thinking of going sli 460 in near future.

Is there a point in using both GPUs on 1 rig?

Is the ram/motherboard issue crucial?

Again thank you for your time.

Could the 1.65V on his memory be "locked" so it doesn't go over 1.65v.

I think that the V will go over 1.65 only if I try to clock or tweak the memory, or am I mistaken?

Could I just bring down the voltage to 1.5, will the memory be stable? Or is it best to switch to : CORSAIR XMS3 6GB 1333...

Sorry for the hassle :(
