Here’s what I’m looking at:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 paired with a Scythe Mugen 2 Rev B
ASROCK 870 EXTREME3 motherboard
4GB (2X2GB) Corsair DDR RAM @ 1600MHz
1TB Western Digital HDD (1002FAEX SATA 6Gb/s 64MB)
650W Corsair power supply

Should I pull the trigger on this?
EVGA GeForce GTX Series 1GB GDDR5 PCIE
Or maybe
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 256BIT

The rig is basically intended for nothing but digital carnage.

Honestly, the only thing I actually know about my PC is that it happens to be black.
Right now, I'm playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on this beast:

GPU - ATI Radeon HD 3650
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4450E 2.3GHz 2GB RAM
Motherboard - OEM MB Model 2A72

I'm thinking about an upgrade since 🙏Call of Duty: Black Ops is dropping soon 🙏and it’s freezing outside, so I need to stay warm indoors.
I want to know😕 what kind of graphics card I should pick up, and if I really need to swap out the processor and everything else...
What would actually be a smart move here, and how much cash am I looking at? I need to know so I can start hoarding some bills.
