I am building a rig for a friend. He has 300$ left in his budget for a display.
Specs:
-Q6600
-4gigs ddr800
-8800GT 512
-Raptors in raid 0
-Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus MB
-Vista 64 ultimate and XP 64 on seperate partition
This rig is 100% used for gaming. 300$ is his top end on a display. This is my first Q6600 build. I am not realy all that sure on LCD monitors. He has bad eyes and despises CRT. Me personaly I prefer CRT but this rig is not for me. Now this rig will not be OCed right away. We will OC it later if need be. Taking the specs into account at stock clocks can anyone help me figure out a good fit for a LCD. These resolutions and the overall pile of errors with LCDs are making me very hesitant.
Remember it MUST be under 300$ and I would prefer if it did not use "all" of the power the system has just to render the display at its native resolution. Having more power on the back burner is always a good thing. Using it all and constantly streching a rig I find is a great path to building something that has no balance.
