Good choice.

Your processor cant handle this card...somebody with Phenom X4 or Core i5 will have far better fps...but sometimes you can buy CPU so dont worry

Likewise, my stock OEM Q6600 is holding back my 950 Mhz GTX 460 in CPU-heavy games like ARMA & WIC ... doesn't matter if I play in high or low res/settings; as long as the draw distance goes up, I'm screwed. Even in low res/settings, the game stutters like hell. I want to upgrade to the GTX 570, but with a slow 2.4 Ghz processor, its really no point.

Sandy Bridge can't come soon enough!

I thought that power supply and RAM are the most important things for GPU to work as it should...what does CPU has to do with it? although it's just 2-core, it's 2x 3.2 Ghz, so I think it will work just fine... Hell, my friend who has 4-core CPU, told me that when he played Mafia 2 on highest possible settings, that only 2 CPU cores were active.

CPU is feeding your graphics card with data!! Your CPU has really nice frequency, but it hasnt L3 cache and more cores. HD 5858 can handle every pc game, but your processor cant support it well. So there are few games which can use 3 or more cores, but that yount is increasing now.

8 years ago I put Geforce 3 to duron 950mhz and 3Dmark 2001 showed score about 3000points and two days after with Athlon 1800+ it was 6000 points...so you are going to have the same problem with your weak processor

Learning Point:
Balanced systems not only maximize performance but minimize cost.

So, I know it's really early to be thinking about this, but I'm extremely excited for the new Deus Ex game coming out, Human Revolution. I used the comparison system on the page for the game, & I'm coming up considerably short on the graphics rating with a stock ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 series on a Dell Studio 1555. Any suggestions for an upgrade & about what it would cost me?
