So I finally have the means to upgrade my PC, I can get myself a 8800GTX but the lower the price the better, I don't give a sh*t about DX10 atm since the G80 doesn't fully support DX10 or so I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong. So now I'm just looking at raw power, I'm gonna get myself a 27"W monitor in my next upgrade and I'm planning on upgrading to a full DX10 GPU there as well. So currently I only need a 1280x1024 card that will last me until the full force DX10 card's get out, I was looking at the Evga 7950GTKO and using the step up to upgrade, recommend something else?

Here come my planned specs.

Intel E6600 on water
Evga 680i
FSP Group FX760 760W
G.Skill 2 Gigs High Performance
6 Internal Hard Drives
A PCI PATA Controller
DVD Drive
Sound Blaster ZS 2 Audio Card
GPU?

Any comments?

Btw. Is the PSU Big enough to handle this and my next upgrade?

Thanks.
 
I say go for the 8800. It's sort of a waste at that resolution but it means less money spent on the graphics card(s) and also means that you can spend more money on a monitor. The 8800 won't shine until you get your new monitor but hey, why not spend around 500 on the most powerful graphics card possible instead of 700 on a less powerful graphics card AND the 8800? Makes sense to me.... :p

could be the fact that atm it only supports Directx9 till Vista and the proper dx10 drivers come

The hardware itself is fully DX10, yes it needs Vista and a driver obviously, which was shown running fine at CES.

How does that work, dont i just pay the difference and end up having to pay a higher price? But nice to hear about the DX10, I'll probably go for the 8800GTX then.
