I just bought an EVGA 460 GTX SE 1 GB on New Egg. It's a nice deal in you get two games for free and a twenty dollar rebate, bringing the total to $140 An EVGA 460 GTX is running about $200 on Newegg.

The difference between the two is about 4 fps. So if you want to get an extra 4 fps, then get the better card. To me, it's not much of a difference.

So GTX460?
And will it handle everything(except Crysis) on max on 1280*1024 res?

Now i have:
Intel core i5 3.2Ghz quad-core
4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
Ill get a 550W Xilence PSU
 

Yep, it should pair up nicely with that system you have. The great thing is you have several custom models to choose from. The one I would get is the Gigabyte Superoverclock (SOC) or the MSI Hawk Talon Attack. Do you have a favorite shopping site?

Ill get a Xilence 550W PSU for 26Ls. So about 100Ls for GPU
 
You need an upgrade. So don't be afraid to check out the GTX 460 SE version or the GTX 460 768mb version, if they fall within your budget. They will still be way better than your current card.

if you really want to max out most games with max AA/AF you have to get the GTX 460. i had my 5850 OCed on a 1280x1024 monitor a few months back and i just couldnt max out metro 2033, crysis ran pretty good maxed out with 8xAA/16xAF but it could have ran better, got frame drops udner 30fps. remember that the 5850 is a little faster than the GTX 460.
