I think you first bottleneck will be your cpu, but that is my opinion. That graphics card will last a long time, and like mentioned above if you add another card in down the road then way longer.

Thanks he is wondering for an opinion on a 128/120gb vs 60 for boot drive of windows 8 only I recommended to him the 120/128 but he seems to undermine every decision I try to make. This customer has been a bit frustrating he is now considering a 250$ish liquid cooling loop. He is wondering if...
