This the Monitor i Currently Own
Acer G206HLBbd (UM.DG6AA.B01) Black 20" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 200 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (600:1)
I currently leased a graphics card from CuttingEdgeGamer.com but when i got it in it too long with the top hard cage in on the HAF 912. AMD Recommneds a minumum of 500 watt power supply for the HD 7970 but the Sapphire Vapor-X Gigahertz Edition 7970 says on the box requires 750 watt power supply. Couple with it costing 459.99 and alot of 7970 are cheaper on Newegg i Currently can send the card back and cancel the lease. I am worried that my power supply is not big enough and the AMD FX-6300 will bottleneck the 7970. I think it be better to get something lower to be more balanced and fit my power supply and monitor. I can buy the card outright for 459.99 from them a brand new card. box was sealed when i got it.
The big question is what graphics will you suggest for 1600x900 20" monitor if i dont upgrade the monitor as i dont have any graphics card now. The games i have and play are Crysis 1,2,3 , Battlefield 3, Bioshock Infine, Tomb Raider, Metro 2033
I just trying to build a balanced gaming pc that cost effective but dont have loads of money to blow.
Currently thinking a somewhere along the lines like either 7850 2GB,7870, 7870 LE or 7950 $150-300 Range
