Computer too old for new Video Card?

I am about to purchase a Gigabyte GTX 460 Super Overclock edition Video card. The specs are:

1GB GDDR5, 256-bit, 815MHz Core, 1630MHz Shader and 1000MHz memory clock.



Since I am getting a new video card from my old ATI 4670 512mb GDDR3, I was wondering, since I am a gamer, if my ram, cpu or other computer components are still "ok" or at least "decent" when playing video games and doing other things.



Current System Specs:



Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 2.13GHz

3076MB DDR2 Ram

ATI Radeon 4670 512MB GDDR3 - to - Gigabyte GTX 460 Super Overclock

Abit IP43 Motherboard

550W Thermaltake Gaming PSU

Vista Home Premium 32-bit

320GB HD



I was wondering, particuralry with the Cpu, if it needs changing, ONLY IF IT IS Necessary, I AM ON TIGHT BUDGET.



Thanks|||Your system specs look pretty good. Some newer games like a higher frequency processor than 2.13ghz but I think it's mostly when you have a single core processor. The GTX 460 will give you a big performance boost in games. Your power supply is big enough to handle the 460 also. I think you are goo to go later if you think you need to upgrade the processor you can do it then since the processor will will be the potential bottle neck in the system.





Good luck
