Last night I posted I'm looking for a replacement/upgrade from my GTX 260, which I would be happy keeping if it didn't keep freezing (and its BFG so I can't get a replacement).

I've come across the EVGA GeForce GTX460 Superclocked 1024 MB DDR5. After rebate its only around $169, and seems to provide a reasonable upgrade in performance as well (espeically if I shell out for another for SLI in the future).

My question is, will it be limited by my computer specs?

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 Intel Motherboard

Western Digital 500GB SATA 3 Gb/s 7200RPM 32MB Cache

Corsair 650W PSU

Antec 300 Gaming Case

Corsair XMS2 $GB (2x2) PC2-8500 1066MHz 240-pin DDR2

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz 1333MHZ

Thanks all.

Thats what I was hoping, but with the i Processors I wanted to make sure (not that I could upgrade to that with my motherboard).

Thanks for the help!

Is there that much of a difference between a 260 and 460?

OC that gtx460 to 850mhz+ on the core and your looking at gtx470/hd5870 levels of performance. for $160 its a good deal.
