I want to get a new video card(s) for some upcoming games this fall, specifically Battlefield 3 and Skrim. Right now I run a GTX 275 at 1080x1920, which inst going to cut it. I want to be able to play at the highest settings at 30+ FPS (hopefully 60).

I was thinking about getting 2x GTX 460 but I don't think it will do the job anymore, also not sure if its possible to get what I want for what I'm willing to pay ($200 - $400)

Anyway, I'm just asking for any suggestions.

EVGA X58
Core i7 920
6G memory
910 Watt power single rail
GTX 275

I was afraid of that.
Another question, is there anything worth waiting for, such as price drops or new cards around the corner?
