I know i cant come up with a good enough reason to ditch the i7\x58 platform for SandyBridge...

Maybe Ill just hang tight for the next gen Nvidia\ATi display adapters, bump the ram up to 12GB...

I was thinking SSD but my Raptor RAID0 array is plenty fast and has a storage advantage.

I'm thinking about getting a second 5850, most notably because I run 2 monitors at 1920x1080. Think it'll run on a 650w PSU? If not, I've still got my 1000w psu chilling in my closet.

Take the money you'd spend on another 5970 and go buy a 24" monitor.  You'll thank me later.

Just put the last piece of my BF3 rig in place early, since I got a good deal on an HD6950 1 GB video card for $180.

I think I will do OK.

Intel Q9550 @ 3.4 Ghz
HD6950 1 Gb Video card
4 Gb Ram
@ 1680 x 1050 on 22" 120Hz monitor.

Fraps says I'm averaging ~ 90 FPS running BFBC2 on all high 16xAF/8xAA/HSAO on.

HD6950 or GTX560 Ti.

Or if you feel like spending some more then HD6970 or GTX570.

I would grab a better GPU personally. Upgrade to something like a HD6870, GTX560Ti or HD6950 depending on what you can afford. If you can't afford it then I would drop down to 4GB of RAM so you can afford a better card.

EDIT:

That's if you are buying it now. If you already have it then it will do fine.
