Thanks Well, I am always of the belief that - with a gaming PC - you should buy the best you can afford at the time, since that'll let your rig eke out a few more years of service. You buy low, you'll just have to replace it in a year or two if you wanna keep playing the newest games. Having said that, I find the x70 lines of nvidia GPUs are usually the better investment than the x80s (and avoid the x60 lines entirely). The price difference is usually enough for me to double something else in my computer (double the ram, or double the vram, or double the storage... whatever) and the actual speed difference is negligble. On the gripping hand, I do upgrade my video-card several times over the life of my computer...
