should i be looking to upgrade?

hi, i have the rig in my sig, but im mainly focussed on the cpu, MB. i play games like battle field 2, modern warfare 2, timeshift, and shooters that will be coming out soon. basicaly, how long will this cpu clocked at 3.2 or 3.4Ghz last with the future games coming out, and also, what would be a good graphics card to upgrade to that i wont have to change out for a couple years, and still be able to play games maxed out. im running 1080p on a 21 in screen, sometimes 720p on a 32 in tv. thanks.

If your existing graphic card still allow you play game at hightest setting, I don't see the point to upgrade.

Anyway, If you looking at new card now, probably get 5850 or above.
However, since you would overclock, I don't really recommend GTX 480 for their power consumption with your 650W PSU

Hi,
I don't think you should upgrade your pc up to when it's allowing you to play game at hightest setting.

Thanks

so then i should just wait until my pc has a hard time playing future games at max settings before i upgrade? i soppose that could work, i just dont want to wait a long time to where what i have now will be so outdated i wont be able to get much for it, you know what im saying. but overall, i can see how it would save $ in the end, regaurdless of how much this pc will be worth wwhen i do need to upgrade. when i do ill probably just do an entire systme upgrade, and sell what i currently have. alright guys, thanks
