My Rig:

Corsair 750W PS

AMD Quad @ 3.7

10 GB RAM

With this video card

MSI N260GTX Twin Frozr OC GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I have around 150-200$ to spend. Is it worth it to upgrade? What would be my best upgrade? I have stuck with nvidia my whole gaming career btw. But am open to any suggestions. Thanks for your advice!

A i7 920 is only 2.66ghz and your CPU is 3.7ghz. It must be worse right?

-.-

Dude I gave you a performance chart too

LOL, well at least you know that the new card will be about 32% faster than the 260 that you have. So yeah its up to you to decide if its worth it or not.
