The next big hardware updates (waiting) game and what to do

[Dutch60]

My current system is a three years old.
Single loop water cooled system, under full load never hotter than 70C
Core i7 965 OC 4GHz
2x EVGA GTX 285 FTW with Aquagrafix water blocks

IL2 CoD runs good at medium graphics settings on one 30” monitor but I want to run it at the highest graphics settings on tree 30” monitors.

I know that the system that will bring the biggest performance improvement will naturally be the third option, but the big question will I need it to run IL2 CoD with three 30” monitors?
I really hate the waiting game and I don’t want to wait forever before I can start to enjoy IL2 CoD at the highest graphic settings, but I also want to be ready for the (hopefully) coming new iterations of the game or an official add-on like something called IL2 The Skye’s over Barbarossa .

What will help (me) the most a new set of GPU’s or a new CPU?

So the big question is go for it now, wait 3 months or wait 6 months?


Option 1: Upgrade NOW only replace the GPU’s

2x EVGA GTX 580 HC2 1.5GB (850MHz core) or 3.0GB (772MHz core)

Option 2: Upgrade Q4 2011

2x EVGA GTX 580 HC2 1.5GB (850MHz core) or 3.0GB (772MHz core)

Intel Core i7 3960X OC (hopefully) 4.8 GHz with new motherboard LGA 2011 and X79
