New Video Card or i7 Processor/Mobo/Memory?

I'm at a crossroads here. I feel my system is already very fast. However, I haven't really upgraded in a couple years and would like to push my games a little harder.

Wondering,

1) A new very high end video card (suggestions?)

or

2) New guts for a i7 CPU/Mobo/RAM upgrade (suggestions, combo deals currently available?)


Thanks for the help!

Yup, with that kind of resolution, the GPU is the better option. However, depending on your PSU, you may be limited in your choices...
 
The OP is at a one or the other scenario. His 775 can keep up with modern games without issue so he would be better of going with the GPU than pairing the 8800 with an i7.

OP:

My suggestion would be a new video card 4850 -> 4870 -> GTX 260 core 212 -> GTX 280 -> 4870X2. Just pick your price range.
 
Thanks for the updates guys! And sorry for the way late response...

Deciding to go w/ a GPU for now!

GTX 295 looks great, but my enermax liberty 620w power supply might not be enough?

any thoughts on this?

I was considering a GTX 295 w/ PSU but if my PSU is good.. I'll go w/ a PSU and SSD!




Thanks for your help and suggestions...
