Hey guys needs some advice here. I am currently running an nvidia 9600gt 512mb, Playing games on a 19" Lcd with a native resolution of 1440*900. Most of the games run fine but the latest dx11 titles have started to give my 9600gt a hard time, So I am thinking about upgrading to gtx550ti as its a dx11 capable card. Will it b able to max all games including Crysis 2 at this resolution? My specs are C2D e6600 @3.0 4 gb ddr2 667Mhz ram 500watts Psu 250Gb 7200rpm Sata hdd

instead of a 550Ti i'd strongly recommend 560Ti. specifically Asus ENGTX560 Ti/DC2 TOP/2DI. comes with a very large heat sink and two cooling fans.
secondly pls do upgrade ur PSU to atleast 750W 80% Plus Bronze Certified because u r going to need a robust PSU and ur current PSU could prove woefully inadequate.

Your PSU will just make it and no more for the power required.
I would however forget about the 550 series, Nvidia cards are better from x60 and up words, so buy a 460 or 560.
Oh yeah and make sure the motherboard supports PCI-e 2.0 x16. Or it will be wasted money.

So i should get a 550ti then. And i have no plans of upgrading my pc in the next 2-3 years, and don't u think a second one in Sli would be a good option if i plan on upgrading?
