Todays FPS's are not what you buy the board for anyway. Its tomorrows SHV's. Not only will it play Oblivion well, but it will do tomorrows new high tech sim and you won't need to worry about your vid card for a couple years to a few years.

PS. Don't worry about your CPU. It will be OK for now, and when you get a newer CPU, just move the graphics card to the new box. Not a big deal. Most games are still GPU limited, not CPU limited. The only game I can think of that might want decent CPU power is Crysis due to its CPU based physics engine.

I'm just cheap, that's all. Back in the day, I paid $214 for my RX700-Pro.
You are very right about future titles, though. I had originally thought along the same lines, but then the thought came upon me - if there is a SHV, will the video card even be able to run it? I was even thinking about the next Elder Scrolls title (said to take place in Skyrim). Thinking that far ahead, though, is probably foolish. I'll probably need a whole new system for that.
Those are the only two game series that really interest me on the computer. On console the only series I really like is Gran Turismo and maybe Grand Theft Auto.
