What Is The Best Graphics Card I Can Get For My Motherboard? (Nvidia nForce 610i)?

As far as Nvidia goes I was going to go with the 460 superclocked. a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130568&cm_re=460_superclocked-_-14-130-568-_-Product" rel="nofollow"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…/a was the card. Notice the price is only 9652.41. There is a TR version but the AR version has a LIFETIME WARRANTY. This ensures if it ever breaks down, even 5 years from now, you're covered as long as you abide by the warranty regulations and don't modify the card in any way that will void that warranty. I have been researching Nvidia cards for around 2 months now to make sure that I get EXACTLY what I want. I haven't ever spent 79334.82 on a computer before and will only be buying 1 part a month till I have it paid off. More when I am buying cheaper parts like the PSU, case and accessories. This is my parts list a href="http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11354589" rel="nofollow"http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Public…/a . I have traveled millions of virtual miles going from retail sites, forums, benchmark posts, video reviews, text reviews, awards, warranty information etc. On a side note I am considering getting the Corsair 1000HX because of the sheer amount of awards and good press that series has received. Pretty much any aspect that i could research I did. I am now confident that my setup is compatible and has the level of quality that justifies the price, will last and satisfies my gaming requirements for at least a few years to come. The 570 is freaking awesome and the 580 isn't enough of a increase in price/performance to warrant that purchase. What I am keeping in mind is that when I buy this card I won't have the money to buy 2 cards for at least a year. The plus side to that is when I do decide to level up and go SLI the performance will make mincemeat of the 460. The 460 in sli wil wipe the floor when put up against a 580 BUT when I go SLI the 570 will be a LOT cheaper and the performance of 2 570 cards will warrant the ~$600 and compared to a $650 card on the market now eventually getting two 570 cards is a performance increase that will be well worth it. The Sabertooth that I am getting will support those two cards. I also thought of the Asus extreme III formula & rampage but this motherboard will give me the hardware necessary to support two 570 cards as well as all the memory and CPU and PSU power I could ever dream of for a good while. So in a nutshell go for the 460 superclocked. Make sure it has an AR at the end which means lifetime if you want to settle and still have fairly awesome gaming performance. I think you'll be satisfied but a few years down the road when you need to increase your performance you're already maxed out as far as multiple cards go. They, the 460, don't support tri-sli. I will be buying a another 570, for roughly the same price as the 460 superclockedAR since I won't be making that upgrade for at least a year and a half, and I will see a marked performance increase with two 570 cards. So how "near-future proof" do you want your build to be? I really don't want to dig up all the techie goodies that compare the 460 cards in sli compared to the 580 and all the info that led up to my final decision but the decision I made was an extremely well informed, and very time consuming, one so if you would like to take my word for please do.
