    Hello,

    Asus P5N-E SLI (2 PCI E 16x slots)
    Newegg.com - ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4 GHz
    GeForce 7900 GT
    3070 MB Ram

    I want to upgrade my video to be able to play FF14 beta. I also want to run Starcraft 2 on really high settings. Do you have any suggestions? I was considering a "GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked". It uses PCI-E 2.0. I am guessing my MOBO is PCI-E 1.0 because all it says is "PCI E 16x".

    Would this card work with my current system? Would my cpu or mobo bottleneck the video badly?

    Thanks!

    Here is a link to the card I want
