12 months? Probably not. In 12 months, this computer will still be new enough it won't be worth selling for rock bottom prices. Since it's got a good solid processor, in 12 months, you might see the 5870s for sale for $300.00 as the owner looks to pickup next-years '68xx' models.
@Einhanderkiller Whats your config.My 8800 gts can barely do crysis at between mainstream and gamer only at 1440*900.I wanna know what part is my bottleneck.
I have a 260 core 216 ssc from evga and it doesnt play most games on the highest settings at 1024 so i find that hard to believe. altho i will say the 8800/9800 cards are still pretty strong and have lasted longer than other cards iv owned.

Can I wait 12 months and buy it for $300 at a garage sale?
Shut up you idiot.

My nearly two year old 8800 GTS 512 still rocks the latest games at high settings.

Big difference between 8800GTS 320/640 and the 512...
