Or get GTX 280, stay bottlenecked for 6-8 months until Nehalem and then do something. (if my PSU can power that sucker)

BTW, I love this PSU. It looks beautiful in my case and I have never had an issue with it.
well, i thought the gtx280 was a bit more of a power ***** then that... but yeah, i think you'll see somewhat of a bottleneck, but it will mostly be in benchmarks, not really in gaming. On lower resolution you'll see some drop but with a card like that you better be maxing out res. I honestly would say either choice you have would be great, but if you sell the gtx280 you're gonna get maybe 400-425 for it, which would buy a proc/card, proc/mobo, mobo/card, but not all 3. just something to think about.
