I just upgraded my computer and was thinking about upping my video card too. I'm really wondering about how well I'll play Empire Total War, Fallout 3, and possibly HAWX. What do you think should i upgrade and if so what to? I don't want to spend much money yet since i just blew all my money on the rest of my rebuild. I would like to run the games on pretty maxed settings at 1680x1050 and silky smooth is a must. Also this is my first post.

Should I Upgrade

welcome to hardforum.
based on your current card and the res you play at, i would obstain from upgrading until new cards are released, they are just re-releasing cards atm, but not adding value.
what does everyone else think, i am definitely no expert, i upgraded from an 8800gtx to my gtx260 and i have been able to max pretty much any game i throw at it at 1680x1050, but i could do that with the gtx too...

Yeah, I currently have a 8800gts (g92) and don't really see a point in upgrading yet as my resolution is 1680x1050. Prices of video cards are only gonna drop further..

i would upgrade and step up later.. depends how much trouble you are having with your current card and games you play
There are demo's out for Empire Total War and HAWX, try them.
If they run fine, so will Fallout 3.
