I just can't justify up'n from my 920's, just isn't worth it imo. The only significant upgrade I see in the next 12-18 months is maybe upgrading my vid cards from 480's to w/e comes out (unless some major cpu release/increase comes out). The only other thing I might pick up is a 3rd 30" monitor.
Jumping from the 480s would definitely save on the power bill.
