Alrighty...well, I hope the 8800GTS drops by like 100-150 in the next few months...any chance of that? Lol.
And I dont think H2V will be too taxing on a GPU or CPU...whatabout you guys?
Will an X2 4600+ bottleneck my 8800GTS?
In my opinion, don't get an 8800GTS, yet. Get a "hold over" card (maybe an ATI 1900GT for $145) and wait until ATI/Nvidia's midrange DX10 cards come out. If you got an 8800 right now, in my opinion, it would be pretty much a waste, because there are no DX10 Games out yet, and by the time there are, your 8800GTS will be out dated.
By doing this, you can upgrade to a DX10 card in 6-8months when there are actually DX10 games out.
And yes, the 4600X2 would bottleneck your 8800
