Lokking to upgrade my PC

Which is pretty much what I've been looking at, plus a Kingston DDR3, 1333MHz cas7 kit.

(though to be honest both bandwith and latency are completely irrelevant for these new i5s. Can just about throw anything in there and get the same performance, as far as gaming is concerned)

Decided to hold off on upgrading at least another year though.

Geforce GTX 580

1000-1500 watts PSU

An i7 for gaming and a x58 board for only 1 video card? Kind of a waste of money imho.
