Ok looking at next week potentially getting a new graphics card, and i am looking at 2 cards, but would like people's oppinion to help me decide as i am completely stumped buy it. This is also based on the fact that i have enough left after paying a few things out of my wages.

Choice 1 is to get a ATI 5970 for £500

Choice 2 is to get a single GTX 480 and a waterblock for £500 with the option of adding a second in a month or 2.

Choice 3 is to wait till the end of the year for the new intel cpu's mobo's and quad channel ram this, option also bring's in the PCI-E 3.0 aswell.

Choice 4 is to buy my dad a cheap gtx260 and take back my 2nd watercooled gtx 280 out of his pc (he won't mind) and put it back in mine till the end of the year.

The reason i am stumped is that the 5970 performs better run's cooler and use's less power than the single GTX 480 but not by allot really, but if i was to add another GTX 480 then 2 running in sli perform better than the single 5970, But who knows what PCI-E 3.0 is going to bring to the table and how the cards will perform.

My gtx 280 has done me proud for a few years now but i think it is time for a change, and with crysis 2 on the horizon i am leaning more towards the 5970.

So what should i do i really am not sure what to do at the moment
