See, it's a matter of balance.
And in fact , any Tri/quad-vcard setting WILL bottleneck even with the most expensive CPU.

Indeed, 2500K is a good CPU but it doesn't cost $400 which you said that should be invested if you were to buy GTX580. 2600K might cost $400 but HT is useless in gaming (for now, anyway).
No one has been talking about tri-quad vcard settings though. Hell, we haven't even talked about SLI. Only GTX590 would count as two cards but I recommended GTX580, which by the way, you can use with older processors if you overclock them enough (make sure your cooling is ok).
As for bottlenecks.. You sure about that? There are processors that cost $2000 .. You sure quad xfire would still bottleneck? Well those aren't for normal consumer use for sure but you said '' even the most expensive ''
