I thought that the 280's came with a converter for the PCI connector, but I could be wrong.

dude given my specs will my system be able to max out all games except a few for another 6mnths or more and will gtx 260 be a high end card or the best high end card for my rig?

thnxs for advices and sry for the bump

I would think that a 260 with no AA would be able to handle almost anything out there at your resolution.

I would get something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130448

If you plan to use high levels of AA and AF, and you can get your CPU to 3.4-3.6ghz, a 280 would give you a boost over the 260.

If you leave your OC where it is, I don't think the 280 will be much different performace than a 260 in most games.

That's my opinion.

The 260 will crush the 8800GT that you have.
