Buying my first graphics card!

[Guest]

I have just bought a new system:
i5-3570k
p8z77-v lk
520w Seasonic
8GB Mushkin Ram
I am going to play GW2, MoP, LoL, BfBc2

I currently have a gtx460, and I'm not sure it's good enough anymore.

I wanted to know what graphics card I should buy. You have to note that the Galaxy gtx580 is on sale at 300 from 450.

whats your budget ? also for a GTX 580 i would recommend at least a 600w psu ?

My budget is 300$ and my PSU is seasonic (good quality 87%).
Can i use 2 psu?

The gtx 660ti is coming out very soon, its going to be more powerful than a gtx 580 and will consume less power too. It will cost $299 I suggest you wait. if you don't want to wait go for a radeon 7870.

AMD/ATI drivers have always been buggy and still are. Buy Nvidia.

I've only experienced problems with Nvidia drivers, not AMD/ATI. Buy whatever offers more performance per dollar.
