I am torn...
...whether to upgrade next month my current video cards to some oclocked BFG 285s...or to upgrade my car stereo...(currently non existent since it got stolen when I came to Atlanta for work and havent fixed it since then)...I could get the video cards next month and then upgrade my stereo the month after that but I cant decide. Also does anyone know of any impending video card releases?

Upgrade the car stereo first. The 285s may drop in price in the meantime. ATI has the 4890 products hitting within a week.

Besides I plan on upgrading the rest of my system next year probably when the 32 nm of the Nehalem gets pushed out. I always like to make sure I buy a CPU on a different die shrink. |

Well, yeah, but GPUs are moving forward way faster than CPUs. For example, this time next year, i7 bought this year could stay, but you would want a pair of GT300.

Was just doing some reading and it seems :
2 x 285 > 1 x 295 and 3 x 285 > 2 x 295... |

After 8, you fork out for GT300.
It's a consume and obey world we live in, unfortunately.
