    Hello!

    I'm having a sweet job over summer and thinking about spending about $300 on a new graphics card.

    My current computer is

    P5B Deluxe
    Q6600 at 3 GHz
    4 GB RAM
    620 W Corsair PSU
    GTX 275

    I'm thinking about 560 Ti, or perhaps HD7870/7850.

    Will it make a difference worth spending the money on, or will the GPU be severely bottlenecked by another component? The idea is to play new titles like Mass Effect 3 at highest detail and both AA and AF enabled at my monitor's 1280/1024 native resolution, with a minimum of 60 fps. Always.

    Thank you so very much for your input!
