Currently have the i5 2500 3.3Ghz, with 8 gig RAM 1600, GTX 480.

My sister is in Canada for a few weeks so figured I'll get her to pick me up a new video card at least, maybe with that a new Mobo and for sure a SSD 120 gig maybe 240, corsair probably or OCZ still not fully decided.

Anyhow jumping into the upgrade for the video card, I'm leaning towards the Asus GeForce GTX660, maybe the 680 but wow its pricey right now..

Any thoughts on that, there is a fair bit of options for both the 660 and 680, terms of my current system I'm looking at a solid upgrade but looking at about 1 more year with my current setup before I go upgrade it fully (cpu, mobo, ram).

Any advice appreciated
