So here I am with the dilemma get the 7870 for $150, or hold off 4-5 months and see if I can snag a Radeon 280 for sub $200, they are about $215 now. (Forgot to mention I game at 1920x1200, currently playing D3 and Civ 5 mostly.) D3 is a fairly light game for a 5870, getting 100 fps+ http://gamegpu...

Case in point, ASUS's shiny new Ares II getting rolled in Arkham City, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim and WoW (see: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/ARES_II/).

Not only that, but your 750 motherboard has asynchronous CPU FSB: RAM overclocking which means you won't be constrained by DDR2-800 when you start overclocking. Your CPU has a mult...
