    Is a gtx280 really an upgrade for me?

    Cool thank you for the advice. Going to get the 965 and 7850. Is that 7850 going to max out 1680/1050? Will 2? How about 1080? Will get the 6300 down the road a bit. Which 560 ti is that tho? 1gb? 192bit. I'm talking 2gb 256bit... They don't differentiate on the chart.

    Blah... i can still return but i really figured two gtx280's for 150$ was ok and nothing was as good in that price range. 150$ or less... and that a second gts450 was not sufficient. i hear about all these driver problems with amd/ati cards and ive always used nvidia with no issues. kind of...
