Just bought:
Getting one of the new ATI cards when they come out? Still need a P55 compatible CPU cooler. (which one should I get?)
In the end I wanna know how far I'll be able to push this CPU and how much more performance this upgrade will get me. (Max out TF2?, crysis? Modern Warfare 2? Future proof?) My goal is to run my monitor at native res. (1920x1200)
