I would like to upgrade my computer within the next few months, starting with my graphics card. My current hardware should be in my sig. I would like to upgrade to something akin to the nVidia GTX 460, but I currently have a micro-ATX motherboard with only one pci-express slot and two pci-slots. Is this going to be a problem, due to the dual-spot feature of the GTX 460, or am I merely going to lose the ability to use one of my pci cards (of which I'm not using any anyway)? Also, I currently have a micro-ATX case (which is why I purchased the micro-ATX motherboard), but currently have another desktop case that I could use. I'm not sure what it's exact size is, but it's definitely bigger than the case I'm using now. Would this be good enough to get the new graphics card? Also, since I won't be upgrading until the summer or the end of next year at the latest, please recommend any other graphics cards you have in mind. I'm looking in the $100-$200 range, but I'll go up to $300. Thanks in advance.
