    replacing a dying Radeon HD 4850... equivalent performance?

    Get a Geforce GTS 450. Performs better and it fits your budget.

    AMD FX-4130 (OEM) and Asrock 990FX Extreme3 motherboard

    How tricky is it to OC with the Asrock board? I haven't heard good things about OC attempts but that board looks nice.

    card killer

    No matter what my budget is, I always try to spend good money on my PSU. I've had a whole system become useless because of one bad PSU. My recommendation is save some money and buy a nice semi-modular one.

    Are video cards the component most prone to failure?

    I never had GPUs die but I've had a faulty ones before, had to undervolt it. I've had fans, PSUs and mobos and RAM die on me.

    Upgrading from a laptop with a GT 540m to a 740m worth it?

    Nvidia's naming sequence can sometimes throw people off but I'm glad it worked in the end for you. More than a 50% increase in performance. That should keep her happy for a while.

    Two video cards & two monitors

    In the nvidia control panel you can set it so the 480 is a dedicated PHYSX card. You can also tamper with the monitor settings there too.

    Have r9 280x.... Debating going r9 290 or gtx 970:

    Getting another r9 280x would be cheaper but I've heard bad things about temps. Sell your 280x and buy a gtx 970.

    Asus GTX 970 Strix

    That's a nice rig dude. Congrats. Just got a 770 for cheap. Will hopefully upgrade when Nvidia releases a new line of gpus.

    Upgrading video card soon

    Get a used 290x for 300. Edit: Nvm, just realized that gtx 970 runs as well as a 290x. In that case, I agree with everyone and say you should get a new gtx 970 or buy another 270x for CF if you're on a budget.

    Upgrading to nVidia's new graphics?

    Went from a gtx 690 to gtx 980 sli. No regrets.

    Should I sell my 290's and upgrade to 970's or toss water blocks on the 290's?

    Make the upgrade man, you won't regret it.
