As discussed previously, buying a new video card alone would make the other components of my current PC be the bottlenecks. So I want to also get a new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU. Does anyone have any suggestions? I prefer Intel to AMD and I think I may want to go for more than 4 gigs of RAM, but I'm interested in your opinions on that.
The timeline is not right this second (I'll have trouble getting my hands on a GTX 470 anyway I bet), so if there's a new CPU coming out soon for example, I can wait a bit.
Budget is undetermined, but I'm looking to buy great but not bleeding edge hardware here. I want to invest in a new computer, but not pay through the nose when I could get something for a lot cheaper with only a small performance loss (case in point: GTX 470 vs. 480).
Thanks as always for helping my helpless ass.
