So I have an i5 2500K and ram is cheap, but I was wondering what would be a good card to run games like the Witcher 2, Fallout New Vegas, Diablo 3, Skyrim etc...at max settings and at 1080 resolution? Would I need a GTX 580? or is that too far advanced for 'current gen games?

I don't know about the other ones but have you seen the skyrim screenshots? That's going to require some extreme GPU power to get off the ground on max settings. I wouldn't go below the 485, or some kind of SLI setup.
