GTX 260 (216)maxcore or GTX 285 OC

[ejm]

Greetings

I am looking to buy a new gpu. I can purchase the BFG 260 (216) maxcore for around 315.00 cdn or the 285 oc for 446.00.

At present I have a 21" monitor at 1680X1050 and an E6600 dual core processor.

The card is going to be for the future where I will be going to an i7 processor and eventually a larger monitor.

What are your opinions for longevity? (Perhaps SLI with the 260?)

Thanks & RGds
EJ

if you plan on running 1920x1200 in the near future, I would shell out the extra cash for the 285.
