PC will be used for
* XBLA & Windows development using Visual Studio
* Light graphics work using PS
* Audio work using Ableton, Reason, Sonar, Guitar Rig
* 5-boxing Warcraft
* X-Plane & Flight Sim
* Upcoming games such as SC2, Rage, etc
Budget is max $3k Aus but will be reusing monitors and periphs from current pc that will become vnc'd fileserver.
My main concern is videocard options. I am looking for feedback on replacing the listed ones with either a 5970 or a 480 GTX with the limitation that I'm only playing at max 1920x1080 and that I have to be able to run 5 WoW clients at one time at a decent graphics level and framerate
