My system is a bit long in the tooth
Q6600
8800GTS x 2 Ali

I am thinking that video upgrade couldn't hurt. I was considering either a GTX560ti or the 560.
I will upgrading the main board and CPU soon also but thought I would do the video now.

Comments or suggestions?

560ti's are nice cards, you will see a lot of improvement with that upgrade. If I was going to spend money though I would wait on the new cards. Nvidia is going to release low end first and since your shooting for that range it will work out good on timing.

I'd go with a GTX 560 TI 448 Core.

AMD is releasing it's high end first. Nvidia is releasing it's low end first. It could be Spring before either gets to their mid range cards.

The 560 is still a Solid Card. I have a 570 and love it, I would suggest that, but ironically after a year of being out, they cost more than they did 6 months ago... go figure.

Can I get $15/month for not playing them?
