So, I was looking into upgrading because my current rig is just to point where I can run games at playable framerates (IE: Oblivion, FEAR, ect) with almost everything maxed out but I really want smoother performance. I'm going to purchase an almost complete system overhaul. I was looking to spend around 800-1000 dollars. Here's what I was planning on upgrading to...
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131540)+AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103562)
XFX Geforce 7900 GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150150)
Corsair XMS 2GB of DDR 433 RAM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145594)
Now, my question to all of you is.... should I wait entill the DX10 cards are released to buy a new video card? I know games such as Crysis will take advantage of DX10 and stuff. I am, of course, referring to nVidia's and ATi's next cards rumored to be released this summer.
